Abstract
Hibiscus is a renowned potential ornamental shrub that needs improvement in terms of architecture. Mutation breeding technique which hasbeen considered as an efficient tool for vegetatively propagated crops. Based on this, an investigation on the induction of mutation inHibiscus rosa-sinensis L. cv. Red Single was carried out to obtain genetic variability through gamma irradiation. In this study, semihardwood cuttings of Hibiscus rosa-sinenis Cultivar Red Single were treated with three different doses of gamma rays (2.5, 3, 3.5 Kilorad).The results revealed that gradual reduction in survival of cuttings, Plant height, branches, leaf length, leaf width, internodal length, stemgirth with an increase in dosage of gamma rays. Flowering attributes such as pedicle length, Days taken for first bud formation, Days forfull bloom, flower diameter, flower colour, petal length altered by inducing gamma rays which created a small flower mutant wit...
