Present study was undertaken with French bean, wherein mutation was induced through Sodium azide (SA). The SA treated seeds were sown to raise M1 generation. Observations were recorded for days to seed germinating, germination percentage, seedling height, leaf morphological changes, chlorophyll chimeras, pollen sterility and survival of plants at maturity M1 generation. The mutagen showed inhibitory effect on seed germination. However, the seedling injury decreased with increased concentration of sodium azide.
