Abstract excerpt
High energy ion beams are effective physical mutagens for mutation induction in plants. Due to their high linear energy transfer (LET) property, they are known to generate single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and insertion/deletions (InDels, <50 bp) as well as structural variations (SVs). However, due to the technical difficulties to identify SVs, studies on ion beam induced SVs by genome sequencing have so far...
