The experiment was conducted at Nuclear Institute of Agriculture (NIA), Tando Jam during rabi season 2012-13 to evaluate the performance of newly developed mutant populations (M3 generation) originated from two commercial wheat varieties namely Khirman and NIA-Saarang by treating them with different doses of gamma rays i.e., 150, 200, 250, and 300 Gy. The mutant populations were evaluated along with both mother varieties (non-irradiated) under field conditions. The objectives of the study were to determine the effect of different doses of gamma rays on various yield associated traits and to select superior mutant plants with desired traits from mutant populations. The mean squares obtained from analysis of variance for treatments were significant for the traits spike length, grains spike-1 , grain yield plant-1 at P
