The data now gathered from some 100 years of mutation research in general and 70 years of mutation breeding in particular enable scientists to draw conclusions regarding the ability of mutations to produce new species.
Noma kunjalo, ukwaziswa osekuqoqiwe ngemva kweminyaka engaba ikhulu yokucwaninga ngokuguqula izakhi zofuzo kanye neminyaka engu-70 yokuzalanisa izinto ngokuguqula izakhi, kusiza ososayensi ukuba bafinyelele iziphetho ngokuthi izinto ezishintshwe izakhi ziyakwazi yini ukukhiqiza izinhlobo ezintsha.
