The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Mutagenesis in crop improvement under the climate change (2010, methodology): “Heavy ion beam (HIB) is used as a new physical mutagen instead of gamma rays, X-rays and neutrons, which has been predominantly used for mutation induction in plants (26,27,28).”
Production constraints and breeding approaches for cowpea improvement for drought prone agro-ecologies in Sub-Saharan Africa (2020, background): “…Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been supporting member states in genetic improvement of various crops including cowpea through the use of artificial mutagenesis such as gamma rays, X-rays, and ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) (Horn and Shimelis, 2013; Jain, 2005; Maluszynski et al., 2000).”
Date palm biotechnology: current status and prospective - an overview. (2012, background): “Currently, it continues to spread across North African countries, especially in Morocco and Algeria where more than 12 million date palm trees have been destroyed so far.”
