Mutations can be induced with

  • IAA

  • ethylene

  • gamma radiations

  • infra red radiations

Solution

C.

gamma radiations

Gamma radiations are ionising radiation and are physical mutagens. They are used as mutagens in such materials, where the nucleus is deep-seated, e.g, seeds, stem cuttings, etc. 'Sharbati Sonora' variety of wheat has been developed by gamma radiations on 'Sonora- 64' variety (Mexican dwarf wheat variety).
