Abstract
Dormant vegetative slips of Jamrosa were subjected to various doses of gamm a-rays. Plants raised from them were screened with a view to isolate improv ed clones of the crop. Five mutant clones isolated, exhibited variation in quality/quantity of essential oil. These changes in oil characters were att ributed to microlevel mutations induced by gamma-rays.
