High-throughput sequencing and mutagenesis to accelerate the domestication of Microlaena stipoides as a new food crop.

Global food demand, climatic variability and reduced land availability are driving the need for domestication of new crop species. The accelerated domestication of a rice-like Australian dryland polyploid grass, Microlaena stipoides (Poaceae), was targeted using chemical mutagenesis in conjunction w...
