One of the most widely used in plant breeding mutagenes is sodium azide, which itself or its metabolites cause point mutations in the genome that do not cause shifts in the reading frame. We show examples of the use of sodium azide for the chemically induced mutagenesis of plants such as Hordeum vulgare, Triticum durum, Avena strigosa, Pisum sativum, Arachis hypogaea, Zea mays, Oryza sativa, Lycopersicon esculentum, Gossypium hirsutum, Eruca sativa, Brachypodium distachyon, Helianthus annuus, Spathoglottis plicata. The prospects of using sodium azide not only in plant breeding, but also in fundamental research are noted.
