Another outstanding contribution and unique feature of induced mutants in the breeding of several seed-propagatedcrops(e.g.barley,rice, sunflowerand rapeseed)hasbeentheglobalfreeaccessofthemutant germplasm and cultivars with transnational impact. For example, the dwarf genes induced in ‘Calrose’ in California were extensively used for rice breeding in Australia and Egypt. The high oleic acid mutants of sunflower induced in Russia (ex USSR) were widely used in the United States and Europe; those of rapeseed for low linolenic acid induced in Germany and high oleic acid induced in Canada have been used for breeding rapeseed in Australia, Canada and Europe.
