2. WHAT IS MUTATION AND MUTATION
BREEDING :
• Mutation is a sudden heritable change in a
characteristics of an organism.
When mutation is induced for crop
improvement , the entire operation of the
induction and isolation etc. is termed as
mutation breeding.
4. History of mutation breeding :
Mutation as a mechanism of creating variability was first identified by Hugo de
Vries in 1901 in evening primrose, Oenothera lamarkiana, and he considered it
as heritable change by mechanisms distinct from recombination and segregation.
Hugo, who is credited with the discovery of mutation, described these events as
suddenly arising changes in organisms, which were inherited and produced
relatively large effects on the phenotype. He coined the term ‘mutation’ and
presented an integrated concept concerning the occurrence of sudden, shock-like
changes of existing traits, which lead to the origin of new species and variation. In
his experiments with evening primrose, Hugo observed many aberrant types,
which he called ‘mutants’. Hugo suggested that the new types of radiations
like X-rays and gamma rays, might be greatly useful to induce mutations
artificially. This was first realised by H J Muller in 1927 through X-rays
experiments with the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, for producing genetic
changes
5. WHAT IS HORTICULTURE?
• Horticulture is the science and art of the development,
sustainable production, marketing, and use of high-value,
intensively cultivated food and ornamental plants.
Horticultural crops are diverse; they include annual and
perennial species, delicious fruits and vegetables, and
decorative indoor and landscape plants.
• Horticulture is mainly divided into three different areas
POMOLOGY {CULTIVATION OF FRUITS}
OLERICULTURE { CULTIVATION OF VEGETABLE}
FLORICULTURE { CULTIVATION OF ORNAMENTAL
FLOWERS}.

15. Rose –
bud sport is a natural mechanism by which a plant
of an existing variety puts forth a shoot in genetic
changes has occurred. One most important bud
sport is the climbing habit in hybrid tea type roses.
More than 30 induced mutant rose variety has been
commercialized
Some of the Indian bred mutants are – abhisarika ,
angar , madosh , pusa Christiana , strioed Christian
dior , sukumari , tangerine contempo , yellow
contempo , sharda and mrinalini stripe.
16. Jasmine –
• A mutant with longer corolla tube was obtained but it
was susceptible to mite . 0.1 % EMS for 72 hrs proved
lethal while seed treatment with gamma rays beyond
10KR proved lethal.
• Gamma rays induce mutant from cv. CO.1 the buds
white with pink tinge , bold and long corolla tube
flower yield 116q/ha
17. Hibiscus:
• Das in 1971 recorded induction of mutation
through semi acute exposure of potted plants of
hibiscus by gamma rays from co60 source was
founded successful.
• Two stable mutants from cultivar “Alipore
beauty” one with deep red flower as compared
to the light red carmine colour and another semi
double form with deep red colour.
• Purnima released in 1979 developed by
irradiation with chronic gamma rays resulted in
variegated smaller leaves.
18. Bougainvillea :
Large number of cultivar in this flower have
arisen by bud sports or natural mutations.
Main cultivars developed are Arjuna , Jaya , Lady
Hudson of ceylone , Variegata and Silver top.
A mutant from Rosseville’s Delight was released
as “Pallavi” , while the mutant from “Los Banos
Beauty” was also released as “Los Banos
Variegata”.
19. Tuberose :
• Abnormalities like trifurcated spikes three flowers at
one place instead of two were recorded in bulb
treated in 1.5kR gamma rays .
• The single flowered cultivar “Rajat Rekha” colour of
silvery white streak along the middle of the leaf
blade and double flowered cultivar “Suwarn Rekha”
contains golden yellow streaks along the margin of
the leaf blade were released in 1974 at NBRI ,
lucknow by gamma irradiation .
20. Dahlia :
• Cultivars like juantita , candy keene , salmon keene , pink
frank harnsey , white alvas , white rusty , pink jupitor ,
pink Shirley , alliance , pink symbol have been evolved
through natural mutation.
21. Chrysanthemum :
• About 210 mutant cultivars have been developed
so far in chrysanthemum.
• A series of mutants were derived from the officially
registered cultivar ‘reagan’ in 1991.
• 20 mutants eg. Reagan white , Reagan Sunny ,
Reagan Dark Splendid , Reagan Salmon , and
Reagan Orange appeared in the cultivar list in 1994
and represented 35-40% of the total dutch market
in 1992 and 1993.
