The FAO/IAEA Programme’s Database of Mutant Variety and Genetic Stock (MVGS)
is an information portal of commercially or officially released mutant varieties, mutant genetic stocks, and mutation research publications. It consists of the following three sub-databases:
Mutant Variety Database (MVD),
Mutant Genetic Stock Database (MGS),
Mutation Research Publication Database (MRP).
Mutant Variety Database (MVGS): Information about commercially or officially released mutant varieties.
Mutant Genetic Stock Database (MGS): Information, registration, and request for mutant genetic stocks, including individual mutant lines, TILLING populations, and other mutant derived populations for gene mapping and cloning.
Mutation Research Publication Database (MRP)): A repository for searching and downloading all publications and laboratory protocols/guidelines produced by the Joint FAO/IAEA Programme in the field of plant breeding and genetics. It is also a platform for researchers to share with colleagues their non-copyrighted publications.
It also provides a platform for posting news related to mutation breeding and research from Member States. You are encouraged to submit your success stories, important development and events; they will be posted on the website under “News and highlights”.
