Advancing radiation-induced mutant screening through high-throughput technology: a preliminary evaluation of mutant screening in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: Identifying mutant traits is essential for improving crop yield, quality, and stress resistance in plant breeding. Historically, the efficiency of breeding has been constrained by throughput and accuracy. Recent significant advancements have been made through the development of automated, high-accuracy, and high-throughput equipment. However, challenges remain in the post-processing of large-scale image data and its practical application and evaluation in breeding. This study presents a comparative analysis of human and machine recognition, with validation of a randomly selected mutant at the physiological level performed on wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and a candidate mutant of the M₃ generation, which was generated through mutagenesis with heavy ion beams (HIBs) and ^60<
