Corms of two Gladiolus (Gladiolus hybrida L.) cultivars (EthylCavcole and White Prosperity) were exposed to Gamma rays (10, 20 and 30 Gy) and Ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS; 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75%). Most of the morphological characters were improved at higher doses of both the mutagens, but at higher concentrations they were injuries to most of the seedling characters. Treatments of 10 gy gamma ray and 0.25% EMS were found to be suitable for induction of mutants.
