M. C. Sidhu Look at review of Ma et al. "From Classical Radiation to Modern Radiation: Past, Present, and Future of Radiation Mutation Breeding" Front. Public Health, 21 December 2021 Sec. Radiation and Health https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2021.768071Article From Classical Radiation to Modern Radiation: Past, Present,...

the attached picture (Fig 1) from this work shows that the number of mutant varieties registered in International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) during 1960–2020 (IAEA Mutant Variety Database) slow down after introduction of first GMO (mid 1980s) and decline to a minimum after CRISPR-Cas technology development. I think there is a similar trend for other mutation methods.

I am sorry if attachement and discussion of this figure violates the Author's rights!
