Mutation Breeding Review XA0101051 INIS-XA--389 Mutation Breeding Review JOINT FAO/IAEA DIVISION OF ISOTOPE AND RADIATION APPLICATIONS OF ATOMIC ENERGY FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY, VIENNA No. 3 May 1985 PLANT CULTIVARS DERIVED FROM MUTATION INDUCTION OR THE USE OF INDUCED MUTANTS IN CROSS BREEDING. A. MICKE, M. MALUSZYNSKI, B. DONINI Joint FAO/IAEA Division Plant Breeding and Genetics Section Vienna (Austria) Since 1969 we have collected information on cultivated varieties of plants, developed by using induced mutations. Whenever we learn about a cultivar presumably derived from an induced mutant or from use of mutants in crosses, we mail a questionnaire to the breeder. The information gathered in this way is stored in our file on "Mutant Varieties". Excerpts are published regularly in the form of a list in the FAO/IAEA Mutation Breeding Newsletter. The information presented in this issue of "Mutation Breeding Reviews" is extracted from the following publications: SIGURBJORNSSON, B. and MICKE, A., Philosophy and Accomplishments of Mutation Breeding. In: Polyploidy and Induced Mutations in Plant Breeding, IAEA Vienna 1974, pp 303-343 (cited in the table as "IAEA, 1974"). FAO/IAEA MUTATION BREEDING NEWSLETTER (A. Micke, Edit.) No. 1 (1972) - 25 (1985) (cited in the table as "MBNL"). Many interesting details about the cultivars listed are scattered in the literature. The authors plan to establish a computerized mutant cultivar file, which would comprise also relevant literature references 32/22 about origin, performance and economic value of the cultivars as well as their further use as germ plasm. Reader's assistance in this task would be much appreciated. Our mutant variety list has repeatedly provided a basis for analyses on the value and prospects of mutation breeding.

  • Genetic Modification for Agriculture—Proposed Revision of GMO Regulation in Australia
    plants Opinion Genetic Modification for Agriculture—Proposed Revision of GMO Regulation in Australia Robert Redden RJR Agriculture Consultants, 62 Schier Drive, Horsham 340, Australia; [email protected] Abstract: Genetic engineering (GM) of crops, modified with DNA transfer between species, has been highly regulated for over two decades. Now, genome editing (GE) enables a range of DNA alterations, from single base pair changes to precise gene insertion with site-directed nucleases (SDNs). Past regulations, established according to the precautionary principle of avoiding potential risks to human health and the environment, are predicated on fears fanned by well-funded and emotional anti-GM campaigns. These fears ignore the safety record of GM crops over the last 25 years and the benefits of GM to crop productivity, disease and pest resistance, and the environment. GE is now superseding GM, and public education is needed about its benefits and its potential to meet the challenges of climate change for crops. World population will exceed 9 billion by 2050, and world CO2 levels are now over 400 ppm in contrast with a pre-industrial 280 ppm, leading to a projected 1.5 ◦C global warming by 2050, with more stressful crop environments. The required abiotic and biotic stress tolerances can be introgressed from crop wild relatives (CWR) into domestic crops via GE. Restrictive regulations need to be lifted to facilitate GE technologies for sustainable agriculture in Australia and the world.

The short stature of this variety is due to a loss-of-function of the SD1 gene that encodes a GA20 oxidase-2 (GA20ox-2) which catalyzes late steps of gibberellin biosynthesis. In this study, we inves- tigated how widely sd1 mutations have been employed in the generation of semi-dwarf varieties of rice. Ge- netic and molecular analyses revealed that the sd1 allele of IR8 has been used in the production of japonica varieties. Sequence analysis of the SD1 locus of 57 semi-dwarf varieties showed that at least 7 sd1 alleles have been used in the breeding of semi-dwarf rice varieties in China, USA and Japan. The utilization of such a high number of different alleles all controlling the same target trait highlights that mutations in GA20ox-2 induce an agronomically advantageous architecture in rice. Key Words: rice, semi-dwarf, sd1, IR8. Introduction (IRRI), contributed to the green revolution in Asia.

  • Mutagenesis for Crop Breeding and Functional Genomics
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Springer - Publisher Connector Chapter 1 Mutagenesis for Crop Breeding and Functional Genomics Joanna Jankowicz-Cieslak, Chikelu Mba, and Bradley J. Till Abstract Genetic variation is a source of phenotypic diversity and is a major driver of evolutionary diversification. Heritable variation was observed and used thousands of years ago in the domestication of plants and animals. The mechanisms that govern the inheritance of traits were later described by Mendel. In the early decades of the twentieth century, scientists showed that the relatively slow rate of natural mutation could be increased by several orders of magnitude by treating Drosophila and cereals with X-rays. What is striking about these achievements is that they came in advance of experimental evidence that DNA is the heritable material. This highlights one major advantage of induced mutations for crop breeding: prior knowledge of genes or gene function is not required to successfully create plants with improved traits and to release new varieties. Indeed, mutation induction has been an important tool for crop breeding since the release of the first mutant variety of tobacco in the 1930s. In addition to plant mutation breeding, induced mutations have been used extensively for functional genomics in model organisms and crops. Novel reverse-genetic strategies, such as Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes (TILLING), are being used for the production of stable genetic stocks of mutant plant populations such as Arabidopsis, barley, soybean, tomato and wheat. These can be kept for many years and screened repeatedly for different traits.

Compared with the culm length of variety Koshihikari (mean, 88.8 cm), that of the semidwarf or double dwarf lines carrying Jukkoku_sd1, IR8_sd1, d60, Jukkoku_sd1 plus d60, or IR8_sd1 plus d60 was shortened to 71.8 cm, 68.5 cm, 65.7 cm, 48.6 cm, and 50.3 cm, respectively. Compared with the yield of Koshihikari (mean, 665.3 g/m2), that of the line carrying Jukkoku_sd1 allele showed the highest value (772.6 g/m2, 16.1% higher than Koshihikari), while that of IR8_sd1, d60 and IR8_sd1 plus d60, was slightly decreased by 7.1%, 5.5%, and 9.7% respectively. The line carrying Jukkoku_sd1 also showed the highest value in number of panicles and florets/panicle, 16.2% and 11.1% higher than in Koshihikari, respectively, and these effects were responsible for the increases in yield.
