Solution
Mutation breeding represents a new method of conventional breeding procedures as they have the advantage of improving the defect without losing an agronomic and quality character in agriculture and crop improvement. Mutation means the sudden heritable changes in the genotype or phenotype of an organism. Gene mutations are of considerable importance in plant breeding as they provide essential inputs for evolution as well as for recombination and selection. It is the only method for improving seedless crops.
