Improving Lives: 50 Years of Crop Breeding, Genetics, and Cytology (C‐1) (2006, methodology): “Other methods used during the last 50 yr to create genetic variation derived from the interspecies and intergenus sources include mutation breeding (Ahloowalia et al., 2004), embryo rescue (Comeau et al.”
Sorghum stem yield and soluble carbohydrates under different salinity levels (2008, background): “Soil salinity is one of the main problems for agriculture, especially in countries where irrigation is an essential aid to agriculture (Ahloowalia et al., 2004). Saline soils are estimated about 5 – 10% of the world’s arable land (Szabolcs, 1994), and the area affected by salinity is increasing stea”
Production of novel allelic variation for genes involved in starch biosynthesis through mutagenesis (2010, background): “The use of mutagenesis in plant breeding has resulted in the production of more than 2,250 crop varieties, officially released, with improved yield and quality traits and about 70% of these were released as direct mutants ( Ahloowalia et al. 2004 ).”
Doubled haploidy and induced mutation (2007, background): “Mutation techniques have contributed significantly to plant improvement worldwide, and have made an outstanding impact on the productivity and economic value of some crops ( Ahloowalia et al. 2004; Maluszynski and Szarejko 2005).”
Principle and application of plant mutagenesis in crop improvement: a review (2016, background): “Global impact of developed and released varieties in major crops all over the world has been reviewed by Ahloowalia et al.[42] Several achievements in crop improvement through mutation breeding have resulted in two major outcomes: improved varieties that are directly used for commercial cultivation ”
Achievements and Challenges in Legume Breeding for Pest and Disease Resistance (2015, background): “…common virus (Fadl, 1983; Micke, 1984), lupin resistant to fusarium wilt (Micke, 1984), soybean resistant to cyst nematodes and virus (Micke, 1984; Ahloowalia et al., 2004) and pea resistant to powdery mildew, rust, fusarium wilt and aphanomyces root rot (Gritton and Hagedorn, 1979; Fadl, 1983;…”
Flax ( Linum usitatissimum L.) (2016, background): “The primary strategy in mutation-based breeding has been to upgrade elite lines by altering one or two production-limiting or quality traits (Ahloowalia et al., 2004; Rowland and Bhatty, 1990) using radiation or chemical mutagenesis.”
Induced Mutations Unleash the Potentials of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (2013, background): “Taking barley for instance, the authors [46] reported that the high-yielding and dwarf mutant cultivars of barley “Diamant” and “Golden Promise” had jointly added billions of dollars in additional income to the brewing and malting industries.”
Genome Editing of Plants (2017, neutral): “Ahloowalia et al. (2004) provided specific examples of improved varieties.”
