Seeds ofPetunia nyctaginifloraJuss. a common ornamental garden plant, were treated with two alkylating agents (methyl methane sulphonate and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine). Six morphological and seven chlorophyll mutants were isolated from M2 segregating families. The isolated induced mutants are described and genetically analysed.
