Development and characterization of a new TILLING population of common bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). by Liang Chen, Linzhou Huang, Donghong Min, Andy Phillips, Shiqiang Wang, Pippa J Madgwick, Martin A J Parry, Yin-Gang Hu

“…To simplify the procedure and decrease costs, we use unlabeled primers and either non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels or agarose gels for mutation detection. The value of this new resource was tested using PCR with RAPD and Intron-spliced junction (ISJ) primers, and also TILLING in three selected candidate genes, in 300 and 512 mutant lines, revealing high mutation densities of 1/34 kb by RAPD/ISJ analysis and 1/47 kb by TILLING. …”
