SRAP analysis of DNA base sequence changes in lotus mutants induced by Fe+ implantation

C. L. Deng, Qin, R. Y., Gao, J., Jia, Y. Y., Ren, Y. X., Gao, W. J., and Lu, L. D., SRAP analysis of DNA base sequence changes in lotus mutants induced by Fe+ implantation, vol. 12, pp. 335-343, 2013.

Ion implantation, a new biophysically mutagenic technique, has shown great potential for crop breeding. To reveal the mutation effect of low-energy ion implantation on Baiyangdian red lotus, sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers were used to amplify and detect the DNA sequence differences in mutants induced by Fe+ ion implantation. A total of 121 primer combinations were tested in 6 mutants and a control.

Improved thermostable α-amylase activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by low-energy ion implantation

X. Y. Li, Zhang, J. L., and Zhu, S. W., Improved thermostable α-amylase activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by low-energy ion implantation, vol. 10, pp. 2181-2189, 2011.

Thermostable α-amylase is of great importance in the starch fermentation industry; it is extensively used in the manufacture of beverages, baby foods, medicines, and pharmaceuticals. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens produces thermostable α-amylase; however, production of thermostable α-amylase is limited. Ion-beam implantation is an effective method for mutation breeding in microbes.
