Genetic variability is prerequisite feature for crop improvement
programmes. Plant breeders are handicapped due to lack of
availability or non-existence of adequate genetic variability. The
induced mutagenesis is one of the promising approaches for creation
of new genetic variability and offers the possibility of inducing
desired attributes that either cannot be found in nature or have
been lost during evolution. Recent reviews on mutation breeding
indicates that although induced mutagenesis is a best approach for
creation of genetic variability but most of interest paid towards
crop plants, even widely used medicinal plant spp like C. roseus,
an anticancerous and antihypertensive alkaloid yielding plant could
receive little attention where its application is helpful in
developing improved 'idiochemovars'. These 'idiochemovars' are
important for industrial crops, such as medicinal plants, content
of the economically important metabolites is more important than
the yield of the plant parts containing the metabolites because it
determines the cost of extraction of the metabolite.
