Dwarfism is a very common mutation, I'm sure if you did radiation induction trials you could eventually get a dwarf basjoo, this method has been used many times by researchers to create dwarf versions of cultivars, most notable and familiar to us is the 'Super Dwarf Cavendish' which is a product of radiation induction mutation.
