Abstract excerpt
Ion beams are physical mutagens used for plant and microbe breeding that cause mutations via a mechanism distinct from those of chemical mutagens or gamma rays. We utilized whole-exome sequencing of rice DNA in order to understand the properties of ion beam-induced mutations in a genome-wide manner. DNA libraries were constructed from selected carbon-ion-beam-induced rice mutants by capturing with a custom probes...
