Background Chemical mutagenesis has been successfully used for increasing genetic
diversity in crop plants. More than 800 novel mutant types of rice (Oryza sativa L.) have been …

Narrow genetic variation limits the success of crop improvement programs. Mutagenesis
using ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) provides an opportunity to increase genetic variation …

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 …

In order to study the effect of mutagenesis on germination, growth and fertility in sesame, the
seeds of a local variety 'LTK-4'were got irradiated with 6 gamma radiation doses viz., 150Gy …

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) is an annual vegetable crop and a member of family …

Cluster bean is an annual drought hardy legume crop mainly cultivated in arid regions
receiving scanty (150-400 mm) and erratic rainfall during crop growth period. For the …

Linseed is a valuable oilseed crop with huge therapeutic importance due to its high content
of omega-3 fatty acids in the form of Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). It is a self-pollinated crop …

Induced mutation is an efficient tool to improve a crop through creation of variability but it has
been rarely exploited in improving bell pepper. This research was aimed to determine the …

Objective The present investigation was undertaken for determination of LD50 and studying
response exhibited by selected cultivars of pigeon pea for various seedling parameters …

Mutation breeding is an important tool for creating variability and the source of new breeding
materials. Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS) is a very potent chemical mutagen. The present …
