Abstract
The accumulation of large sequence information in cereal crop plants has opened opportunities for determining gene function using reverse genetics rather than forward-genetics approaches. A number of reverse-genetics approaches have been developed and used in model plant species such as Arabidopsis and rice and recently been extended to other cereal crop species during the last few years to determine gene-function relationship. Insertional and chemical/physical mutagen induced mutagenesis combined with emerging high-throughput analytical approaches have made it possible to rapidly discover sequence-function relationship through reverse genetics at genome-wide scale, even in large genome cereal species. In this review, we provide a brief glimpse of the insertional mutagenesis (T-DNA and transposons) based approaches and thereafter discuss the recently discovered non-transgenic technologies such as TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) and DEALING (Detecting Adduct Lesions In Genomes), and their emerging applications in cereal crop plants using suitable examples.
