Genetics Studies

Impact of induced mutation-derived genetic variability, genotype and varieties for quantitative and qualitative traits in Mentha species.

Mutation breeding in the mint species has led to the development of new cultivars with improved genetic variability and desirable traits. This has revolutionized mint cultivation, leading to economic gain for farmers and entrepreneurs.

Genetic mapping, identification, and characterization of a candidate susceptibility gene for powdery mildew in Cannabis sativa L.

Researchers developed biparental populations of Cannabis sativa to study powdery mildew (PM) susceptibility. They identified a major QTL on chromosome 1 and smaller QTLs on four other chromosomes, suggesting a mutated MLO susceptibility gene that could be used to develop resistant cultivars. (42 words)
