The book by M. Imran Kozgar aims to cover the problems of mutation
breeding in pulse crops in the light of issues related to food
insecurity and malnutrition, which according to FAO are the major
threats at the present time. So far the research on induction of
mutation in pulse crops is negligible compared to cereal crops,
though the pulse crops and especially the chickpea are the largest
grown crops in India. The main objective of the book is to reveal
and explore the possibility of inducing genetic variability in
early generations of mutated chickpea, describe the positive
aspects of mutagenic treatments, evaluate the content of mineral
elements (iron, manganese, zinc and copper) and physiological
parameters of isolated high yielding mutant lines. The author hopes
that his book will help to advance studies on pulse crops, and that
in the long term it will help to reduce the food insecurity and
malnutrition problems presently persisting in various developing
countries, including India.
