Abstract:
ABSTRACT The pubertal development of a novel GH-deficient mutant, the dwarf rat, has been evaluated. The establishment of normal spermatogenic function within small testes suggests that GH plays no role in spermatogenic function during puberty and adult life. However, a reduction in testicular size may reflect a reduced Sertoli cell population, suggesting that GH may be of importance in prepubertal testicular development. Furthermore, marked differences between the homozygous dwarf rat and homozygous GH-deficient mouse mutants (e.g. Snell, Ames, pygmy and little mutants) have been demonstrated

Abstract:
Abstract The induced dwarf mutant Rht12 was previously shown to have agronomic potential to replace the conventional DELLA mutants Rht-B1b/Rht-D1b in wheat. The Rht12 dwarfing gene is not associated with reduced coleoptile length (unlike the DELLA mutants) and it is dominant, characteristics which are shared with the previously characterized dwarfing genes Rht18 and Rht14. Using the Rht18/Rht14 model, a gibberellin (GA) 2-oxidase gene was identified in the Rht12 region on chromosome 5A. A screen for suppressor mutants in the Rht12 background identified tall overgrowth individuals that were sho

Abstract:
Improving the drought tolerance of widely used bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. var. dactylon] is important for water conservation and producing quality turf with limited irrigation. Mutants of bermudagrass were generated using gamma-ray irradiation with an aim toward developing dwarf and drought-resistant bermudagrass. The objectives of this study were to compare morphological characteristics between radiation-induced mutants and the wild-type of bermudagrass and to determine antioxidant responses associated with changes in drought resistance in the bermudagrass mutants.

AbstractThe dwarfing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding has promoted a dramatic increase in yields. Since the utilized dwarfing genes in wheat are very limited, identification of novel dwarfing genes is necessary for improving the genetic diversity of wheat. In this study, more than 300 dwarfing wheat lines from induced mutation were screened by kompetitive allele-specific PCR and gibberellin (GA) treatment. The 17.49% of Rht-D1b and 1.37% of Rht-B1b dwarfing mutants were identified in this mutant group. Additionally, Rht-D1b mutants showed more effective in reduction of plant height and hi

Sixteen genetic edited lines out of 31 transgenic plants were generated.

When Cu plants were crossed to cu-3 or dcr parents, F1 plants expressed the Cu phenotype, whereas two parental and two nonparental types were present in each F2. The transgressive groups were the wild type (+), which developed normal expanded leaves, and the midvein-invisible type (MI), which developed extremely distorted curly leaves. Crosses between cu-3 and dcr plants produced nonparental wild-type plants in F1, and

Brassinosteroids (BRs) have long been known to be effective in plant growth promotion. However, definitive evidence of BR's role in growth stimulation has remained unclear. Recently, genetic approaches using BR-deficient dwarf(dwf) mutants have begun to unravel the role of BRs in plant growth and development. BR dwarf mutants are characterized by multiple growth alterations: robust stem, reduced fertility, prolonged life cycle, dark-green appearance, round and curled leaves, and when grown in the dark, short hypocotyls and expanded cotyledons.

Abstract Narrow genetic diversity in available germplasm is a serious limiting factor for academic progress and agronomic improvement of crops like Corchorus olitorius, an economically important bast fibre crop. Mutation breeding, with its proven ability to improve qualitative as well as quantitative traits, can be employed to augment germplasm diversity. In the present study, gamma-rays were used to treat the seeds of two promising varieties, JRO 204 and JRO 8432; LD50 doses for gamma-rays were 200 Gy and 300 Gy for JRO 204 and JRO 8432, respectively.

There have been 318 direct- use mutant cultivars representing 79 species generated through irradiation of gamma-rays, X-rays, ion beams and chemicals and somaclonal variation. Approximately 79% of these direct-use cultivars were induced by radiation. There have been 375 indirect-u
