Interviews
OVERVIEW: Pierre Lagoda, Head of the IAEA’s Plant Breeding and Genetics Section, gives an overview on the use of nuclear science to improve crop varieties.
ASIA: Mutation techniques are widely used in plant breeding in Asia. Pierre Lagoda discusses the importance of this technology on the continent.
SOUTH AMERICA: Mutation induction plays a significant role in enhancing crop production in Latin America and the Caribbean. Professor Luz Gomez Pando from Peru discusses a barley variety, developed with IAEA support.
AFRICA: The IAEA’s plant breeders are hoping to replicate the results achieved with mutation induction in Asia and South America in Africa. Chikelu Mba is the Head of the Plant Breeding Unit at the IAEA’s laboratories.
