Abstract
Mutations induced by gamma rays, ethyl methane sulphonate and diethyl sulphate in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) variety Pusa Sawani are reported. In M2 generation variance increased at the lower doses, but considerably decreased at high doses. The increased variability is mainly due to micromutation. More variability is released in treatments of EMS and DES than gamma rays.
