Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss various chemical and irradiation mutagens, mutagenesis strategies and various forward and reverse genetics approaches available with special reference to TILLING and its application as a powerful reverse genetics strategy for plants. We highlight the current status of rice mutant stocks, databases and forward and reverse genetics strategies being employed for rice functional genomics.
