“…According to these authors, the genotoxicity may be associated with increased frequency of chromosomal aberrations. The viability and capacity of shoot formation were affected when Agave americana calli were exposed to high EMS concentrations of 30-60 mM for 2 and 4 h, only the calli exposed to 15 mM EMS presented shoot formation (Reyes-Zambrano et al, 2021). These authors suggested that the reduction in shoot formation was caused by the alkylating agents which provoked the generation of toxic products and subsequently blocked the replication, suppressing cellular division as well as cell differentiation.…”

African violets (Saintpaulia ionantha) are popular houseplants due to their compact size, attractive plants is limited. This study aimed to investigate the potential of using high concentrations of ethyl mutated African violet plants. In vitro leaf sections of Saintpaulia 'Lyon's Party Parasol' were treated for 90 minutes. Adventitious shoots regenerated from surviving leaf explants were rooted ex vitro Results showed that survival and shoot regeneration percentages of the leaves decreased with increasing treatments. Plants derived from these treatments also Keywords mutation breeding, Saintpaulia ionantha What is already known on this subject?on rate by keeping the plant material disease-free. Mutation induction under in vitro conditions can considerably increase penetration of the chemical mutagen into plant tissues (Van Harten, 1998). EMS has been applied to numerous plants
