<title>FASCIATED MUTANT INDUCED BY THE COMBINED TREATMENT OF GAMMA RAYS AND SODIUM AZIDE (20 KR + 0.10% SA) IN LINUM USITATISSIMUM L. </title>
<abstract>The present investigation provides the effect of combined treatment of gamma rays and SA (Sodium Azide) on the morphology of  lessThan i greaterThan Linum usitatissimum lessThan /i greaterThan . Fasciated plants were obtained in M lessThan sub greaterThan 2 lessThan /sub greaterThan  and M lessThan sub greaterThan 3 lessThan /sub greaterThan  generation. Various widened and ï¬‚attened organs were found such as fasciated stems, abnormal branches arising from fasciated stems, broad and abnormal leaves. The enhanced activity of apical meristem and cambium resulted in a signiï¬cantly increased circumference of the stem resulting into increasing number of leaves, buds, flowers, fruits and seeds. Moreover the size of fruits and seeds were much bigger than control.</abstract>
