Mutation Breeding in Commercial Crops presents the principles, techniques, and applications of induced mutation for crop improvement. It focuses on pulses, oil crops, and floricultural species, covering mutation induction, mutant selection, evaluation, and development of improved varieties. The book highlights the role of mutation breeding in enhancing yield, quality, disease resistance, stress tolerance, maturity, and desirable floral traits. It also introduces modern approaches integrating mutation breeding with molecular and biotechnological tools. Designed for students, researchers, plant breeders, and agricultural professionals, this book provides both fundamental knowledge and practical insights into the development and commercialization of improved crop varieties for sustainable agriculture and food security.
