Genetic variability is prerequisite feature for crop improvement programmes. Plant breeders are handicapped due to lack of availability or non-existence of adequate genetic variability. The induced mutagenesis is one of the promising approaches for creation of new genetic variability and offers the possibility of inducing desired attributes that either cannot be found in nature or have been lost during evolution. Recent reviews on mutation breeding indicates that although induced mutagenesis is a best approach for creation of genetic variability but most of interest paid towards crop plants,...
