SRC leverages mutation breeding for food resilience
Scientists in Jamaica are leveraging crop mutation through gamma irradiation as a promising strategy to tackle crop scarcity, improve disease resistance, and boost the nation’s food security. Scientific Research Council (SRC) is leading this innovative research, with a focus on enhancing the resilience of key crops like ginger and yam.
Currently, SRC has narrowed down over 200 initial lines of ginger to around 20 which show promising resistance to Fusarium, a pathogen responsible for ginger rot.
