Abstract
Mutation is one of the most significant concepts of modern Biology as it deals with the alteration of genetic characters of any individual. Starting from the discovery of Mendel’s laws of inheritance, the science of mutation has grown enormously. Mutation can be beneficial if a new useful character or metabolic cycle is gained; but it can be detrimental if a desired and useful character is lost. But this mutation, especially induced mutation can be extensively used in production of superior varieties of crops – it can enhance the quality, productivity and disease resistance characters of the plants. Hence mutation breeding, by applying physical and chemical mutagens, has become a recent trend to meet the huge demand of food worldwide. The present paper discusses about the general sources and effects of mutation, and specifically focuses on the successful application of induced mutation in terms of development of useful varieties by plant mutagenesis.
