The rapid identification of spontaneous mutations using a whole-genome NGS approach is important to maintain the quality of breeder seeds from the effects of deleterious mutations. We have developed such a procedure to remove deleterious mutations within a single growing season. In the upper part of the picture are the green plants and albino mutants; the middle parts include the gene interference responsible for causing albinism and the genomic differences between green and albino mutants, which is a C-insertion in the albino pool; and in the lower part are the differences in the green (left) and albino (right) leaf ultra-structures (This issue, p. 362–371).
