Application of TILLING in plant improvement.

Abstract excerpt

TILLING (Targeting induced local lesions in genomes) is a general reverse-genetic strategy that is used to locate an allelic series of induced point mutations in genes of interest. High-throughput TILLING allows the rapid and cost-effective detection of induced point mutations in populations of chemically mutagenized individuals. The technique can be applied not only to model organisms but also to economically...
