Utility of TRAP markers to determine indel mutation frequencies induced by gamma-ray irradiation of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) seeds.

CONCLUSIONS: The optimal gamma dose was 100-150 Gy on the basis of survival percentage and morphological response analysis. The TRAP markers distinguished mutant lines and showed association between mutation frequency and gamma doses. This study will be useful for faba bean mutation breeding and may be applicable to other crops. PMID: 30964373 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
