Neutron beam breeding enables variety development in a shorter period than conventional radiation breeding!
In this document, we present a comparison of breeding technologies in table format. We clearly outline EMS (chemical mutagen), gamma rays (radiation), heavy ion beams (radiation), and the speedy breeding method of "neutron beams (radiation)", as well as the development efficiency, development period, versatility, safety, and regulations regarding genetic modification and genome editing. The content is designed to be easily referenced when considering implementation. Please feel free to download and utilize it.

Company information
Starting as a private company initiated by local volunteers under the proposal of the Ibaraki University Graduate School of Science and Engineering, we aim to develop a new technological domain that is globally competitive through collaboration between radiation-related facilities concentrated in Ibaraki Prefecture and the vibrant agriculture in the region. Our goal is to commercialize the use of neutrons for crop improvement, which, while considered effective among experts, had not been socially implemented, thereby contributing to the realization of a sustainable society. We have conducted repeated demonstration experiments, enabling the generation of dynamic and large quantities of mutants that were previously unattainable. In 2020, we patented the technology for generating mutagens using neutrons, and we are currently providing solutions not only for crop improvement in agriculture but also as a useful technology for the development of industrial microorganisms, catering to companies and research institutions engaged in biological breeding and variety development.
