Abstract

Appreciable amounts of literature have been accumulated on pollen grains after mutagen treatment. Pollen grains and their morphological features are genetically stable characters and the effects of mutagens on these features have been studied critically on different ornamental plants and other crops. Variability in pollen grain sterility and size has been reported by many workers after mutagen treatment in different crop plants. Differential conspicuous changes in exine and apertural characters were recorded both after mutagens treatments and in mutants.
