Global food security faces several challenges such as erratic climate change, expanding human growth, depleted arable land and dwindling natural resources. The crop loss incurred by the infestation of pathogens and subsequent disease outbreaks has posed a serious threat to the food production across the globe. Induced mutagenesis is a promising technology to overcome the pest and disease outbreak in a wide array of economically important crops.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
