Abstract Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. is an important grain legume grown in the dry agro-ecologies of tropics with considerably low yield due to lack improved varieties, aggravated by prevalent narrow genetic base. Thus, induced mutagenesis was employed using sodium azide and gamma rays increase variability cowpea genotypes that resulted isolation eleven high yielding mutant lines at M 4 generation from background varieties Gomati VU-89 Pusa-578. In order analyze divergence among...
With the twin pressures of high population growth and extreme weather events, developing countries are worst hit in meeting food demands their people, with millions unable to access adequate nutritionally balanced food. Crop production must be increased by 70% keep up a rapidly growing population, which is expected rise 9.6 billion 2050. Legumes ideal crops increase agricultural productivity achieve sustainable development goals. Cowpea, warm-season grain legume, often categorized as...
Mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency are the most important factors determining success of mutation breeding, a coherent tool for quickly enhancing genetic diversity in crops. However, conclusive evidence using an effective efficient dose gamma (γ) rays sodium azide (SA) improvement is scant. The present study assesses M2 mutants cowpea evaluates mutagenic single combination doses γ SA. In M0 generation, 7200 M1 seeds obtained by SA treatment (0.01-0.1%) irradiation (100-1000 Gy) at rate...
Rice is an important cereal and drought stress a critical abiotic that negatively influences the performance productivity of rice crop, particularly under changing climate scenario. The objectives this study were to evaluate impacts on grain water use efficiency cultivars assess genotypic variability among tested cultivars. Two irrigation treatments including control applied experiments during 2018–2019 2019–2020. statistical evaluation included comparison means, phenotypic coefficients...
In the present scenario of variable natural environment and sky-high population, sustainable boost in agricultural productivity is utmost priority.Induce mutagenesis generates noble genetic combination without affecting overall genomic makeup crop, thus, providing essential variation for any crop improvement programme.The study has been carried out to investigate comparative mutagenicity gamma rays HZ on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotype (avrodhi) at M 2 generation developed from seeds...
Drought compromises edible vegetable production worldwide, including common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) an economically important crop that is highly dependent on optimum rainfall or abundant irrigation. In the present study, phenotypic data of 26 Bulgarian mutant lines and cultivars subjected to drought stress has been summarized, reaction was evaluated by chlorophyll fluorescence proteomics approaches. Several basic photosynthetic parameters were examined during treatment evaluate...
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), being a self-pollinated crop with narrow genetic base, is an important target for mutation breeding experiments. The purpose of the investigation was to create, select and characterize unique mutations in inflorescence traits that have strong impact on lentil yield stability.Healthy uniform seeds (moisture 11.0%) Lens Medik. cultivar Pant L 406 were irradiated 100, 200, 300 400 Gy gamma rays. mutagenized populations maintained up mutant generation third (M3)...
Faba bean is one of the most important grain legumes in world because its multiple uses and ability to grow over a wide range climatic conditions. The objective this study was evaluate effectiveness efficiency single combination doses gamma rays ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) on two different varieties faba bean. Studies induced mutagenesis involving EMS are sparse. Genetically pure, uniform, dry dormant seeds Vicia Vikrant PRT-12 were treated with four (100, 200, 300 400 Gy) (0.01, 0.02,...
The present study was conducted to assess the extent of induced genetic variability and determine inheritance pattern various yield contributing phenotypic traits in M2 M3 generations urdbean following mutagenesis with single combination treatments gamma rays ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS). mean number seeds per pod 100-seed weight increased all mutagenic both varieties few exceptions generation. Mean length although considerably, however it did not differ significantly most treatments. In...
Mungbean is one of the most important pulse crops due to its nutritive value and maintaining soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation. Genetic variability pre-requisite for crop improvement. The present investigation was aimed at enhance genetic three quantitative traits viz. pod length, number seeds per 100-seed weight in M2 M3 generations mungbean following mutagenesis with ethylmethane sulphonate (EMS), hydrazine hydrate (HZ) sodium azide (SA). Mean length did not differ...
