About the Mutant Screening in Plants Session
Mutant screening is a technique used to identify plants with altered traits due to gene mutations. These mutations can occur naturally or be induced through mutagens like chemicals or radiation. Screening for mutants enables researchers to study gene functions and their roles in growth, development, and stress responses. For example, mutants with improved drought tolerance or resistance to pathogens can be isolated, providing valuable insights into the genes responsible for these traits. Mutant screening accelerates the development of crops with desirable characteristics, contributing to food security and sustainable agriculture.
