Abstract

Bougainvillea is one of the most important and popular perennial ornamental crops in floriculture for multipurpose use and a very suitable plant for multidisciplinary research work due to its numerous bract colors, leaf characters, and plant stature. The fascinating variegation design in leaves is added beauty to its attraction. It is an all-purpose plant that grows very well under tropical and subtropical conditions. Attempts have been made to highlight the progress report of the improvement of bougainvillea for the development of new varieties through induced mutation. This chapter covers almost all mutation work, mutagens and their optimal working dose, development of mutant varieties, etc.
