Abstract

In 1982, the Joint FAO/IAEA Division arranged an expert consultation to discuss the problems arising in mutation breeding by the need to find relatively rare mutants with desired traits or characteristics in large populations. (Selection in Mutation Breeding, IAEA 1984). It was pointed out that choosing a high standard variety and applying an effective mutagen treatment is not enough: Clear definition on breeding objectives and the sucess of a mutation breeding programme. Since mutation induction cannot be directed in any way towards particular traits(not even to think about changing that trait into a desired direction). mutant selection plays a crucial role
