Introductions

Mutation Detection Service

Mutations are genetic changes acquired in germ cells or non-germ (somatic) cells. Mutations can be expressed as insertions, deletions, or base pair changes in coding or non-coding regions, resulting in silent, missense or nonsense mutations. The process of selecting mutant plants with improved traits includes two main steps: mutation screening and mutation confirmation. Mutant screening involves the evaluation of a large number of mutant plants to identify rare mutant individuals that meet selection criteria (such as improved disease resistance, improved quality). Since the first domestication of plants, phenotypic screening has always been a common method for selecting improved crops in plant breeding. This process is time-consuming and greatly affected by environmental factors. Genotype screening (mutation confirmation) can be used to solve the bottlenecks and limitations of phenotypic evaluation. This process evaluates the plant's DNA to identify genetic variants that are related to the trait of interest. Once the DNA variation is determined, molecular detection methods can be developed to screen the population.
