Induced Polygenic Mutations in Vigna marina (Burm) Merr.

Abstract

                                The nature of induced mutations in quantitative characters of Vigna marina (Burm) Merr, was studied in My generation obtained by treating dry seeds in gamma rays and pre- soaked seeds in EMS. The mean of the four out of eight characters studied was shifted towards positive direction. The rest of the characters was found to respond differently to the mutagens. The treated populations have released more variability. The GCV and genetic advance were higher in fodder yield at 10 krad of gamma rays.
