Eight mutants, namely Mut NS 1, Mut NS 2, Mut NS 3, Mut NS 5, Mut NS 8, Mut NS 9, Mut NS 11 Mut NS 18 and their mother variety, Nizersail along with a check variety, BR 4 were taken to analyse their quality characteristics. 1000 kernel weight (TKW), length/breadth (L/B) ratio, husking recovery percentage, amylose and protein content in seed were analysed. These mutants, except Mut NS 5, showed more protein percentage than the mother variety. However, most of the mutants, except Mut NS 2, produced higher grain yield than the mother variety. Thus it may be concluded that through mutation breeding both better nutritional quality of rice and higher grain yield may be obtained.
