Today, a wheat cell (hexaploid) has six copies of its seven chromosomes, meaning it has 42 chromosomes total. The original wheat, Einkorn wheat only has 14 chromosomes, which means it is much easier to digest. Mutation breeding has caused the increase in chromosomes in wheat, which can be directly linked to the gluten problems many people have today.

Mutation breeding can be tried on any plant. If a breeder wants a specific character to be enhanced, or suppressed, he can use this method to try and acquire the desired results. This genetic changes may, or may not have side effects for people who go on to consume them.

Relatively unknown to most, chemical companies like BASF and DuPont may be tampering with our food supply using mutagenesis, while all the focus is on GMO’s. BASF licenses mutagenesis technology to 40 of the largest seed companies in the world, who go on to sell those seeds to the public

Vandag, 'n koring sel (hexaploïde) het ses afskrifte van sy sewe chromosome, wat beteken dat dit 42 chromosome totaal. Die oorspronklike koring, Einkorn koring het slegs 14 chromosome, wat beteken dat dit is baie makliker om te verteer. Mutasieteling het die toename in chromosome in koring, wat direk gekoppel kan word aan die gluten probleme baie mense vandag het veroorsaak.

Mutasieteling kan probeer om op enige plant. As 'n teler wil 'n spesifieke karakter te verbeter, of onderdruk, kan hy hierdie metode gebruik om te probeer en verkry die gewenste resultate. Hierdie genetiese veranderinge mag, of mag nie newe-effekte vir mense wat gaan op om hulle te vernietig het.

Relatief onbekend aan die meeste, chemiese maatskappye soos BASF en DuPont kan peuter met ons kosvoorraad met behulp van mutagenese, terwyl al die fokus is op GMO's.
