Solution
The correct option is C Cotton
Induced and spontaneous mutations have played a significant role in genetic improvement of cotton. Singh, et al 1994, have reviewed the role of induced mutations in cotton improvement. Besides, development of breeding material, mutations could also provide some varieties and parental lines of cotton. Earliness, dwarfness and compactness as well as improvement in boll weight, seed oil, induction of male sterility and glandless characters are some of the traits achieved by mutation breeding. Apart from these traits, improvement in fibre properties was also noticed by many workers. Out of 16 improved varieties developed, 6 have been released in India. These are Indore-2, MCU 7, Rashmi etc. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
