Heavy ion radiation (HIR) is effective for generating new germplasm in plants and microorganisms due to its high mutation induction rate, broad mutagenesis spectrum, and excellent stability of mutants. However, the random mutagenesis induced by radiation limits the efficiency and quality of HIR-based mutation breeding, which has become a key problem to be tackled. According to the process of heavy ion radiation-based mutation breeding, this review proposes a set of tandem strategies to enable efficient and high-quality HIR-based mutation breeding practices. These strategies include adjusting the radiation parameters from multiple dimensions, regulating cellular sensitivity to radiation damage and damage repair capacity, combining heavy ion radiation with adaptive laboratory evolution, integrating heavy ion radiation with other mutagenic agents, adopting progressive radiation, formulating high-throughput screening schemes for mutants, and efficiently identifying, verifying, and integrating positive mutations. These strategies aim to improve the mutagenesis rate, screening efficiency, and utilization of positive mutations. Meanwhile, we envision a mutation breeding workstation that integrates a series of strategies to form a complete cycle for heavy-ion radiation-based mutation breeding. This study is expected to provide valuable insights for creating high-quality microbial resources through heavy-ion radiation.
