Isolation of high-yielding mutants through EMS-induced mutagenesis in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)

Induced mutations have proven flexible, workable and ready to use on any crop. In addition, it is a low-cost technology that has the ability to address current challenges in agriculture. The breeding of new mutant varieties with a higher yield potential will be the driving force to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
