Case1 : Breeding of high-performance strains
By using ARTP, the mutation rate of the maize genome reached 0.083%, which was much higher than that of chemical mutagenesis; mutant strains with low-stems, tillering and male sterility were found in the M₁ generation.
Case2 : Application of mutation breeding technology in aquatic breeding
The mutation rate of flounder induced by ARTP was as high as 0.064%, which was much higher than that of ENU; the mutants showed obvious growth segregation of character.
After ARTP irradiation, the weight of the two-month-old yellow river carp reached nearly 12 times than that of the control, and the body length increased significantly.
