“…Alkylating agents are being used as plant chemical mutagens for many years as they are the most successful chemical mutagen for creating new plant mutants. Many alkylating agents can be used in induced mutagenesis; Ethylenimine (EI), Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), and Mustard gas are four such commonly used alkylating agents (Fujimoto and Yamagata, 1982). There are three functional types of alkylating agents: mono-, bi-or poly-functional types.…”

Purpose: Plant breeding plays a significantly important role in ensuring global food security. Among several methods of plant breeding, mutation breeding has shown remarkable success in crop improvement at a much faster rate than traditional breeding. The present study was carried out to review the different approaches and mutagenic agents of plant mutation breeding. Research Method: The review focused on both conventional and novel techniques of mutation breeding.To prepare a comprehensive article, the author reviewed selected available published information on experimental mutagenesis running back to the 20th century. Findings:In nature, mutations happen at a much slower rate hindering the scientists' efforts of crop improvement. On the contrary, mutagens have provided the solution to a slow mutation rate by inducing mutations at much faster rates. Recent advances in science have opened up new paths of mutation breeding approaches. These approaches accompanied by state-of-the-art biotechnology has provided more effective, efficient, and robust results. For further development of mutation breeding, certain rules and regulations enacted worldwide must be addressed once more. Originality/Value:The study provides a comprehensive review on current knowledge of different mutation breeding approaches and mutagenic agents.

“…According to Mahapatra ( 1983 ), sodium azide at low pH was more effective and effi cient than gamma rays, EMS, and NMU in inducing mutations. Among monofunctional mutagens, while methylating agents are more toxic and have to be used only at lower concentrations (Fujimoto and Yamagata 1982 ), ethylating agents, being less toxic, can be applied at relatively higher concentrations to yield more favorable mutations. Intervarietal differences with respect to effectiveness and effi ciency of the mutagens have been reported by Sharma ( 2001 ).…”
