Example of mutation breeding

Mutation breeding is commonly used to produce traits in crops such as larger seeds, new colors, or sweeter fruits, that either cannot be found in nature or have been lost during evolution.


Parbhani Kranti is produced through mutational breeding and it is resistant to viral disease.
The genetic variation is created by induced mutation and resistance of yellow vein mosaic virus is transferred from wild variety into bhindi to create Parbhani Kranti.
