The use of various mutagens to generate genetic variation in crop plants has a history almost as long as that of conventional breeding. Induction of variability by irradiation of barley seeds with ...

Artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping how crops are bred, and the biggest gains may come not in corn or wheat but in ...

Large amounts of data ("big data") offer enormous potential for improving the accuracy of genome-wide predictions in plant breeding. Encouraged by successful results with wheat hybrids, researchers at ...

This comprehensive book covers the underlying scientific principles, state of the art technologies and methodologies of plant mutagenesis. It covers historical development and commonly used ...

Conventional plant regeneration approaches by cell culture require the external application of plant growth regulators, including hormones. However, optimizing culture conditions can be laborious. Now ...

AI-driven plant breeding accelerates trait identification for climate adaptation and food security, but risks inequality and environmental harm. Democratic control of these technologies are vital for ...
