Mutation breeding is a technique used to induce desirable mutations in crops to develop new varieties. It has been used successfully to create varieties with traits like higher yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and altered plant architecture. Desirable mutations are induced using physical mutagens like radiation or chemical mutagens and selected over multiple generations. Notable achievements include releasing over 2,000 new mutant varieties worldwide, with improvements in traits like yield, plant height, maturity, and seed size in various crops. While most mutations are undesirable, mutation breeding is an effective way to introduce new variation for crop improvement.
Plant breeding methods of vegetatively propagated crops Roksana Aftab Ruhi
Vegetatively propagated crops are bred by intentionally crossing of closely or distantly related individual to produce new crop varieties or lines with desirable traits. Breeding of vegetative crops have successfully improved quality, yield, tolerance of crops to environmental pressure. Breeding helps in producing crops that are resistant to viruses, fungi and bacteria and helps in longer storage period for the harvested crop.
The mating or crossing of two plants or lines of dissimilar genotype is known as hybridization. The chief objective of hybridization is to create genetic variation, when two genotypically different plants are brought together in F1. Here, we are going to discuss about different strategies and tools used for hybridization.

Mutagenesis is the process by which the genetic information
of an organism is changed in a stable manner.
The term ‘mutation breeding’ has become popular as it
draws attention to deliberate efforts of breeders and
the specific techniques they have used in creating and
harnessing desired variation in developing elite breeding
lines and cultivated varieties.
Self-incompatibility refers to the inability of a plant with functional pollen to set seeds when self pollinated. It is the failure of pollen from a flower to fertilize the same flower or other flowers of the same plant.
This presentation includes, Single-locus self-incompatibility- {Gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) and Sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI)},2-locus gametophytic self-incompatibility, Heteromorphic self-incompatibility,Cryptic self-incompatibility (CSI) and Late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI).
Clone is the progeny of a single plant, produced by asexual reproduction
Clonal selection is the selection of the most desirable members of a clone for continued vegetative propagation rather than for sexual reproduction.
The members of a clone keep up genetic constancy.
So by clonal selection and continued vegetative propagation, the desirable qualities of plants can be maintained for long.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. INTRODUCTION
Mutation refers to sudden heritable change in the phenotype of an
individual. In the molecular term, mutation is defined as the permanent
and relatively rare change in the number or sequence of nucleotide.In other
words, mutations arise due to change in DNA bases.
Mutation occurs in two ways :
(1) By alteration in nuclear DNA ( point mutations))
(2) By change in cytoplasmic DNA(cytoplasmic mutation))
The best example of useful cytoplasmic mutation is cytoplasm male sterility.
3. TYPES OF MUTATION
A. Spontaneous mutations : Mutation occur in natural
populations .
B. Induced mutations: Mutation may be artificially induced by
various mutagenic agents. Induced mutations are of two types:
1.Macro-mutations: Mutation with distinct morphological
changes in the phenotype.
2.Micro-mutations: Mutations with invisible phenotypic
changes.
4. MUTATION BREEDING
Inducing desirable mutations and exploiting them for crop
improvement. It is commonly used in self pollinated crops and
used to produce traits in crops such as larger seeds ,new
colour.
Mutagen : Physical or chemical agent which greatly
enhance the frequency of mutation
Types of mutagens:
A.Physical mutagens:
1.Ionising radiation:
(a)Particulate radiations: alpha-rays , beta-rays, fast neurons
and thermal neurons.
(b) Non-particulate radiations:x-rays,and gamma rays.
2.Non-ionising radiation: ultraviolet radiation.
5. Type of radiation properties Mode of action/changes caused
1.x-ray S.I , penetrating and non-
particulate
Induce mutations by forming free
radicals and ions.
2.Gamma-ray S.I,very penetrating and non-
particulate
Induced mutations by ejecting
atoms from the tissues.
3.Alpha-particles D.I,particulate ,less
penetrating and positively
charged.
Act by ionization and
excitation.Cause chromosomal
and gene mutations.
4.Beta rays particulars S.I,particulate, more
penetrating than alpha
particles and negatively
charged.
Act by ionization and
excitation.Cause chromosomal
and gene mutations.
5.Fast and thermal
neutrons
D.I, particulate,neutral Cause chromosomal breakage and
gene mutations.
6.Ultra violet Rays Non-ionising ,low penetrating Cause chromosomal breakage and
gene mutations.

9. Use of viable and fertile mutant in rice
Rice is basically a self pollinating plant, however, the mutational
event may be much lower than the assured self pollinating rate.
Therefore in the M1 planting field (upper left light green
(variety ‘Reimei’) and lower right light green (variety
‘Norin-8’)) previously induced and increased light green and
fertile“chlorina” mutants were used to assure the line purity.
An example of M2 field planted with panicle to
row system. Indicator poles show some kind of
mutants were segregated in the family line.
Two early flowering mutants are shown here as
they segregated in panicle to row planting in a
M2 field.
10. Fertile twin grain mutant has two sets of pistils,
suggesting better external pollen reception. This
recessive mutation will not be expressed in the F1.
Flower of the twin grain mutant has two pistils, both are fertile, if condition allows.
These characters expressed in the maternal tissues may be screened in the M2 generation
field (in case of the “twin grains” flowers in M2 plants, and
seeds shown above are in M3 generatiòn).
In rice the flowering time of the day is not long, a few
hours in the morning. This open hull mutant keeps
open its flowers, or can not close. However, this
mutant has good seed fertility as shown in this picture.
11. APPLICATIONS IN CROP IMPROVEMENT
1.Development of improved varieties : In india ,improved
varieties have been developed through mutation breeding in
wheat ,rice,barley etc.Besides high yield , varieties with
better quality,earliness,dwarfness,disease resistance and low
toxin contents have been developed in various crop.
2.Induction of male sterility: GMS has been induced in durum
wheat and CMS induced in barley. Its reduces the cost of
hybrid seed production.
3.Creation of variability :Induced mutations have been used for
increasing the range of genetic variability in barley, wheat.
4.Improvement in Adaptation: Induced mutations play an
important role in improving adaptation of some crops.
12. ACHIEVEMENTS OF MUTATION BREEDING
1.In plant species, 2252 mutant varieted have been developed in
over the world.Of these 1585 have been released directly and
667 through the use of mutants in hybridization.
2.Out of 2252 mutant varieties ,1700 have been released in seed
propagated crops and 552 in vegetatively propagated species.
3.Among seed propagated species, the maximum mutant

(269), and wheat (222).
4.Maximum varieties have been developed through radiations.
5.Among the chemical mutagenes,EMS resulted in the
development of maximum mutant varieties.
6.In india, 259 mutant varieties have been developed.
7.Maximum mutant varieties have been released in cereals

Improvement achieved in different characters through
mutation breeding in some crops in India :
14. 1. Induced mutagenes is used for the induction of CMS.
Ethidium bromide (EB) has been used for induction of CMS
in barley.
2. Mutation breeding is a cheap and rapid method of
developing new varieties.
3. Mutation breeding is more effective for the improvement of
oligogenic characters.
4. Mutation breeding is the simple, quick and the best way
when a new character is to be induced.
DEMERITS OF MUTATION BREEDING
1.Most of the mutations are deleterious and undesirable.
2.Identification of micro-mutations, which are more useful to a
plant breeder is usually very difficult.
3.Mutation breeding has limited scope for the genetic
improvement of quantitative or polygenic characters.
MERITS OF MUTATION BREEDING
15. Conclusion
Today crop plants are different from the crop from which
they are originated i.e. it’s wild species. This change has
been brought by man through plant breeding. The
important achievement of plant breeding are :
Production of dwarf and semi dwarf cereal varieties in
wheat and rice
Development of hybrid and synthetic varieties in crops.
16. Plant Breeding has a very important role
to play in the future. It can be used as a
tool for intensive breeding of pulses and
oilseed crops, developing high yielding
varieties in vegetables and oilseed crops
and for the development of varieties
desirable for mechanical threshing and
cultivation
