“…For creating useful genetic variability, it therefore seems more appropriate to use chemical mutagens such as ethyle methane sulphonate (EMS) which induce point mutations instead of gamma rays and fast neutrons which produce a syndrome of chromosomal aberrations. In addition to already known stability parameters (Ghafoor Arain and Siddiqui 1977), mutants derived from physical mutagens must also be screened throughly for cytological stability before release as a new variety in any agricultural environment.…”
