Radiation randomly induces chromosomal mutations in plants. However, it was recently
found that the frequency of flower-color mutants could be specifically increased by …

Leaf color is an important agronomic trait in flowering plants, including orchids. However,
factors underlying leaf phenotypes in plants remain largely unclear. A mutant displaying …

Ionizing radiation combined with in vitro tissue culture has been used for development of
new cultivars in diverse crops. The effects of ionizing radiation on mutation induction have …

Cymbidium longibracteatum is an economically important Chinese orchid well known for its
silver-or gold-colored leaf color patterns, and is desired for its ornamental value. In this …

As a common mutation trait in plants, leaf colour mutation is related to the degree of
chlorophyll and anthocyanin changes and the destruction of chloroplast structure. This study …

Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) is a woody ornamental plant popularly grown because
of its long-lasting, midsummer blooms and beautiful colors. The GL1 dominant mutant is the …

Leaf color mutants play an important role in our understanding of chlorophyll biosynthesis
and catabolism. In this study, we obtained a yellow-green leaf mutant hy in an ethyl …

A collection of 75 putative mutants with alterations in leaf pigmentation was visually selected
from Arabidopsis thaliana plants (M2 generation) grown at 26° C from seeds treated with the …

A variety of colorful mutations exist in nature. However, shade stress will affect the color of
ornamental plants. Ulmus pumila 'Jinye'is a cultivated species of elm with a yellow leaf color …
