Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes) is a 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. Grain amylose content is the major constraints for its nutritional quality and...
