ABSTRACT: Recent years have been witnessed for exhaustive genome sequencing, nourishing a cause to track the mutation and its consequences at the phenotypic level. But reliability of these genomic studies is the critical issue which is still unaddressed and not properly understood. Moreover via TILLING techniques (reverse genetic tool), can be valuable in evaluation of these studies to much extent. Usually TILLING account on a specific gene mutation in order to observe the extent of the functionality of that particular gene at morphological level. This review compiles the literature pertaining to the art of tilling in the evaluation of genomic studies and majorly in concern of functional genomics. Moreover this review also covers the example of the most common species so as to build better understanding of the concept behind this technique of reverse genetics and can be fruitfully applied in extracting the ethano-botanical and therapeutic effect of various medicinal plants.
