Aamir Raina is a research scholar at Aligarh Muslim University. He is working on induced mutagenesis on pulses and cereals. He is an internationally recognized expert in many areas of Botany including Plant Breeding and Crop Genetics, MAS and QTL. He holds a BSc and MSc in Botany with highest honors from Kashmir University,Srinagar,India in 2013.
Mutation has been a major factor in bringing wild species into domestication and agriculture. Purposeful mutation in plant breeding has been a highly successful strategy. There are currently over 3,220 officially released mutant cultivars in over 210 plant species. Mutant traits can be produced for most if not all breeding goals and include yield, quality, stature, disease, pest resistance, tolerance to abiotic stresses, postharvest degradation, and novel end-user characters. . Currently, the vast majority of mutations used in plant breeding and crop production are derived from treatments of physical and chemical mutagens. When genetic variability is narrowed using traditional breeding methods for a long period, induced mutations are one of the most important approaches for broadening the genetic variation in lentil to circumvent the bottleneck conditions.
