192
mutant of
Rosa centifolia
and about 5819 rose cultivars were developed as bud mutations. Almost 50% cultivars
of
Rhodhodendron
and
Chrysanthemum
have been developed from natural sports or induced mutations. First
mutation in flower was reported in tulip cv. ‘Faraday’.
At present, mutation breeding is applied to alter flower character (colour, size, morphology, fragrance, period,
petal number, self sterility, compatibility, sexuality), leaf characters (form, size, flowering, pigmentation), growth
habit (compact, climbing, branching), physiological traits (photoperiodic response, early flowering, free
flowering, flower keeping quality and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress) and shoot (nodal density, thorniness,
waxy cover).
