Özet
<p>Different breeding methods are used to achieve various goals in plants, such as increasing yield and quality, adaptation ability, and developing varieties resistant to abiotic and biotic stress factors. In these methods, the fundamental principle is for the researcher to select and breed plants that are suitable for their purpose from the existing pool of genetic diversity. In some cases, researchers create variations themselves. One of the methods used to generate variation is mutation. Mutations can be described as both a tool for creating variation and a breeding technique in plant breeding. Numerous studies demonstrate that naturally occurring or artificially induced mutations can affect different traits in plants. Furthermore, there are many varieties obtained through mutation breeding in Turkey, including approximately 16 varieties in different species such as lemon, cherry, sesame, barley, wheat, potatoes, soybeans, tobacco, and chickpeas.</p><p>This review summarizes some of the physical and chemical mutation breeding studies conducted in the field of field crops with the aim of benefiting researchers who aspire to work in this area.</p><p><strong>Key words: </strong>field crops, mutation, gamma ray, ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS), variation, plant breeding</p><p><br></p>
