There was differential response of mutagenic treatment on plant height, which was highly
influenced by the cultivar. With respect to the control, there was a slight increase in plant
height in most of the cultivars after mutagenic treatment. Increase in plant height was
marginally higher at increased doses (1.5 Kr gamma rays, 1.2 X-ray and 0.2 per cent EMS)
compared to the lower doses of mutagenic treatment except in X-rays treatment. Ramesh et
al. (2012) also reported an increase in plant height with the increase in dose of mutagen to a
certain optimum level of the mutagenic dose
