Abstract Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik. ssp. culinaris) is one of the oldest cultivated plants that
originated from L. culinaris Medik. ssp. orientalis in the Near East arc and Asia Minor. This …

Unique variants are desired in the development of genetically improved crops to meet
farmer and market needs hence ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) was used to induce genetic …

Pulse crops are the primary source of dietary proteins for the predominantly vegetarian
population of the country and complement the carbohydrate-rich cereals in ensuring …

Cowpea is the poor man's crop that lacks variability due to its autogamous nature. Induced
mutation serves as a potential source in the induction of variability in crops. On the other …

Tartary buckwheat (F. tartaricum) is an annual self-pollinated pseudo-cereal crop of the
Polygonaceae family which is grown worldwide for its nutritive and medicinal value. In order …

Three genotypes of field pea namely Makhyatmubi, Makuchabi and Rachna were used in
the present study. A chemical mutagen, sodium azide, a mono-functional alkylating agent …

Cowpea is an important warm-season legume growing in arid and semi-arid regions. The
cowpea productivity is low compared to other legumes such as chickpea, lentil, faba bean …

Present study aimed to identify the effect of different concentrations of sodium azide (NaN<
sub> 3), depending on seed exposure time on various economically valuable traits of millet …

The absence of genetic variability among crop genotypes is an impediment to breeding
progress, hence mutagenesis could serve as a useful tool to create genetic variation to …

The investigation was carried out to study the phenotypic reaction of seeds of CO 6
blackgram variety exposed to Gamma rays doses at 200 Gy, 300 Gy, 400 Gy and …
