Characterization of highly efficient heavy-ion mutagenesis in <it>Arabidopsis thaliana</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Heavy-ion mutagenesis is recognised as a powerful technology to generate new mutants, especially in higher plants. Heavy-ion beams show high linear energy transfer (LET) and thus more effectively induce DNA double-strand breaks than...
