Which of the following is generally used lor induced mutagenesis in crop plants?

Step-by-step solution

Gamma rays (from cobalt 60) is generally used for induced mutation in crop plants. Gamma rays are ionizing radiation and used in inducing mutations in seeds and other planting materials such as cuttings, pollen, or tissue-cultured calli. X rays are used to induce genetic mutation. Ultraviolet (UV) light has strong genotoxic effect to induce mutations for developing high genetic variability in yields, early maturity and other characters in crops.
