Description
Mutations are changes in DNA that occur during cell division or replication, creating genetic variation essential for plant breeding. Mutation breeding plays a vital role in agricultural development by generating desirable traits to improve crop yield and quality. With increasing population pressure, ensuring food security has become challenging, making crop improvement more important than ever. Mutations may arise naturally or be induced using physical or chemical mutagens. Historically, naturally occurring mutations contributed to major advances such as semi-dwarf wheat and rice during the Green Revolution. Today, induced mutagenesis is widely used in plant molecular biology to identify and study genes and their functions. Molecular mutation breeding is opening new avenues for crop improvement. In the future, mutation breeding will remain crucial for developing resilient, high-yielding crops and addressing global food security challenges.
