In the present study, induction of genetic variability in in vitro regenerated Polianthes tuberosa was observed in the local cultivar, with five different doses of gamma radiations (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 Gy). No significant differences were observed in the survival rates among the untreated (control) and treated plants with different doses of gamma irradiation. But significant differences were recorded in the plant morphological characters upon gamma radiation treatment of 30 Gy in terms of plant height, number of leaves, leaf size and colour as compared to the control plant.
