Mutation Breeding for Sustainable Food Production and Climate Resilience

Abstract

Genetic improvement of fruits for increasing production and productivity in the era of climate change requires the desirable genetic variation, which is lacking and hampers the breeding of fruit crops. Mutation breeding played a pivotal role in crop improvement of already established genetic backgrounds as well as generating desirable allelic variations for screening against improved horticultural traits and tolerance against abiotic and biotic stresses. According to the Mutant Variety Database (MVD) of fruit crops, mutants of fruit crops were registered with many useful traits affecting plant size, blooming time and fruit ripening, fruit color, self-compatibility, self-thinning, and resistance to pathogens. Radiosensitivity studies prior to starting of large-scale mutagenesis along with the application of in vitro technique significantly increase the mutagenic efficiency and effectiveness. Resultant pre-breeding stock from various radiation-induced mutagenesis programs in different fruit crops produced mutants having improved horticultural traits, and abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. Further, the advent of molecular techniques interplays a significant role in the characterization of genetic variation at early stages, to obtain desirable mutants.
