Four semidwarf mutants (gamma radiation 25KR) were selected from the segregating population and yield tested in the field. The short-statured mutants gave significantly higher grain yields than parent variety Basmati 370 and had high tillering ability and lodging resistance. Growth duration was similar to Basmati 370. The semidwarf mutants were 18-24% shorter. Yield samples were milled, polished, and evaluated for their physicochemical characterstics. All mutants had grain quality similar to Basmati 370.
