Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) offers some unique opportunities for the induction and exploitation of agronomic value. The use of gamma radiation has been proven to be an effective method to induce genetic variation in crops. We aimed to determine genetically stable mutants of wheat which could be utilized for breeding purposes.
