  • Resistance to yellow mosaic virus Bhindi (Abelmoschus esculentus) was transferred to a wild species and resulted in a new variety A. esculentus called Parabhani Kranti.
  • Sharbati Sonora and Pusa Lerma (high-yielding dwarf wheat varieties) are two amber-grain coloured mutants produced from the red-grained Sonora-64 and Maxican Lerma Rojo 64A respectively.
  • Resistance to yellow mosaic virus and powdery mildew in mung bean were induced by mutation.
