The document describes several mutant plant varieties developed in Bangladesh between 1974-1997 through induced mutagenesis techniques like gamma irradiation and chemical mutagens. The summaries provide key information on the improved attributes of each mutant variety compared to their respective parent varieties, including increased yield, altered plant characteristics, and biotic/abiotic stress resistance. Propagation for all varieties is through self-pollination except for a few developed through hybridization or crossing with other mutants.

Rice Four hills were selected in the M2 generation from 40

season of2010 (year of mutagenic treatment: 2009).
The M3 plant populations were transplanted in the
following rainfed season (T.aman season)of the same
year in separate plots following hill to progeny-rows
and all together28 hills were further selected from the
plants of the four hills. M4 and M5 were grown in
irrigated Boro and rainfed T. aman seasons,
respectively, of 2011. In 2012 preliminary yield trial
was conducted with 10 M6 mutants in the irrigated
Boro season and the mutant RM(2)-40(C)-1-1-10 was
finally chosen for Advance Trial in the following
irrigated Boro season in 2013. Zonal Yield Trial was
conducted in Boro season of2014 and finally released

Wheat Seeds of a salt tolerant segregating mutant population,

General, BINA, Dr. A.A. Hassan from NIAB,
Pakistan. The collected seeds were grown and the best
panicles from each hill was collected separately which
was again grown in the next season in the saline area
following panicle to row progenies and 18 progenies
were selected based on higher yield than the check
variety, Pradip. These progenies were further grown
in the saline area along with the salt tolerant check
variety, BARI Gom-25. Three progenies were further
selected based on higher yield than the check variety.
Three years yield trial over saline and non saline areas
of Bangladesh along with the check variety, BARI
Gom-25 revealed the mutant L-880-43 as 10-15%
higher yielder than the check variety. Finally,
National Seed Board of Bangladesh released it as

Binachinabadam-7’ has been developed by irradiating
the seeds ofDacca-1. Two hundred seeds were
irradiated with 200 Gy dose of gamma rays and the
M1 seeds were sown immediately at BINA farm,
Mymensingh on 1st Feb 2006. In M2 generation, fifty
four progenies were sown following plant-progeny-
row on 28 Nov in the same year. In M3 and M4
generations 17 and three mutants, respectively, were
selected based on higher yield. In preliminary,
advance and zonal yield trials ducted during 2009-10,
2010-11 and 2012-13 the mutant D1/20/17-1 out
yielded the parent Dacca-1. Finally, in on-farm and
on-station trial conducted during 2013-14, this mutant
out yielded its parent, Dacca-1 at five out of eight
locations. Moreover, this mutant performs better
under 8dS/m salinity when exposed at reproductive
stage apart from its tolerances to jassid and hairy
caterpillar. Considering all these,this mutant was
registered as ‘Binachinabadam-7’ for commercial
cultivation in both saline and non saline soils.
Binachinabadm-7 was
released in 2014. Its
plants are dwarf and

‘Binasarisha-7’has been developed by irradiating the
seeds of the variety BARI Sarisha-11. Initially the
seeds were exposed to different doses of gamma rays
(600, 700, 800 and 900 Gy) and M1 was grown in
2004-05. In 2006-07 32 mutant lines were selected in
M3 generation considering their better field
performance including seed yield per plant and other
important agronomic characters as compared to the
mother variety. These experimental materials were
grown in M4 and M5 generations to study their
breeding behaviour in respect of seed yield and yield
contributing characters. In preliminary, advance and
regional yield trials conducted during 2008 to 2011
respectively, the mutant MM-10-4 out yielded the
BARI Sarisha-11. Moreover, the mutant line MM-10-
4 was found to be moderately resistant to stem rot,
tolerant to Alternaria blight and also showed lower
incidence of aphid infestation than the check variety.
MM-10-4 was chosen for registration as ‘Binasarisha-

seeds were irradiated with 75 Gy dose of gamma rays
in 2007 and grown in BINA HQs Farm, Mymensingh.
Selections were made during M2 to M3 based on
annual seed production ability in winter and bulb
production in summer season (Kharif-I and Kharif-II).
Preliminary yield trial was conducted with six mutants
along with the parent and a check variety BARI Piaz-

trial and on farm on station yield trials were
conducted during 2012-2017 for seed production in

The proposed variety, BINA Chinabadam-10 has been
developed by irradiating the seeds of PK-1. Two
hundred dry seeds were irradiated with 150 Gy dose
of gamma rays and the M1 seeds were sown
immediately at BINA farm, Mymensingh on 17
February 2013. In M2, M3 and M4 generations,15, 1
and 1 populations,respectively, were selected based
on higher pod number and yield. In preliminary,
advance,zonal, on-farm and on-station trials
conducted during 2016-17 to 2017-18, the mutant
PK1/15/69 out yielded the highest yielding popular
variety, Binachinabadam-4 in most of the cases.
Considering all these,this mutant was chosen for
registration as BINA Chinabadam-10 for commercial
cultivation in the groundnut growing areas of
Bangladesh.
