Abstract excerpt
Chloroplasts and mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles and have their own genomes (cytoplasmic genomes). Physical radiations (e.g., γ-rays) have been widely used in artificial mutation induction for plant germplasm enhancement and for breeding new cultivars. However, little is known at the genomic level about which kind of cytoplasmic mutations and/or characteristics could be induced in plants. The present...
