Heavy-ion beam irradiation (HIBI) is useful for generating new germplasm in plants and
microorganisms due to its ability to induce high mutagenesis rate, broad mutagenesis …

In vitro methods were used to study the consequences of gamma irradiation on
morphological and biochemical changes in blackberry plantlets. Gamma-irradiated (20, 40 …

Genetic variations are an important source of germplasm diversity, as it provides an allele
resource that contributes to the development of new traits for plant breeding. Gamma rays …

Plant breeding explores genetic diversity in useful traits to develop new, high-yielding, and
improved cultivars. Ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) is a chemical widely used to induce …

Chilli leaf curl virus disease caused by begomoviruses, has emerged as a major threat to
global chilli production, causing severe yield losses and economic harm. Begomoviruses …

The realisation of manned space exploration requires the development of Bioregenerative
Life Support Systems (BLSS). In such self‐sufficient closed habitats, higher plants have a …
