Ethyl Methanesulfonate as Inductor of Somaclonal Variants in Different Crops

Abstract: Ethyl methanesulfonate is a chemical mutagen, which is currently being used in plant breeding, to increase genetic variability in genes of agronomic interest, of species useful in agriculture. It primarily causes single base point mutations by inducing guanine alkylation, resulting in GC to AT transitions. Its effect is different between clones of a genotype and between genotypes of the same species. This review presents the results obtained in recent research, where its effect on plant tissues, callus, and ce… Show more

“…Espina et al [20] also investigated a phenotypic improvement of mutated soybean in the M2 population through induced mutation using EMS. In accordance with Joya-Dávila and Gutiérrez-Miceli [22], the highest genetic diversity in mutation breeding programs arises in the M2 generation. In this regard, the M2 generation is an important generation to gain as much diversity as is feasible.…”
