Rice cultivation system in Iran is completely irrigated and, production level in 2015 was ‎impressive with 3.5 million tons from approximately 0.550 million hectares (Karbalaei Aghamolki ‎et al., 2015). Further iIncrease in theg Iranian rice production within limitations, in available land and, ‎water resources and challenges of climate change is a difficult task (Dorosti et al., 2016). Hence, ‎it is important to maintain rice diversity in the production areas for improved varieties as well as ‎traditional landraces in equitable proportions. Induced genetic variation is thea basic requirement ‎for crop improvement ftor gain a long term sustainable food production (Jain, 2010). Plant breeders have ‎successfully recombined the desired genes from the existeding available gene pool andwith the related ‎plant species. by crossing hHybridization and successfully obtained new cultivars with desirable ‎characteristics, such as high yield, biotic and abiotic stress tolerant. The goal of induced mutations ‎is to enhance the mutation frequency rate in order to select appropriate variants for the purpose of ‎breeding crops efficiently (Jain, 2010; El-Degwy, 2013). Induced mutation has over the past 50 ‎years played a major role in the development of superior crop varieties (Jain, 2005).‎
