More than 3,000 plants — including some organic crops — developed by mutating seeds using radiation or chemicals. Here’s an explainer – Genetic Literacy Project

Plant mutation breeding, also called variation breeding, is a method that uses physical radiation or chemical means to induce spontaneous genetic variation in plants to develop new crop varieties. “Mutation” is the source of most genetic variation and the motor of evolution.

French court rules sweet grapefruit, barley, wheat and 2500 crops, developed by mutagenizing seeds with toxic chemicals or gamma rays yet often sold as organic, are GMO, must be labeled and cultivation banned | Genetic Literacy Project

Mutagenesis is a process where new strains of food and products are created using chemicals and radiation in the lab …. In the 1970s, its successor,
