Abstract

                                The nature of induced mutations in quantitative characters of lablab was studied in My generations obtained by treating dry and presoaked seeds in gamma rays and presoaked seeds In EMS. The mean M. generation was not affected by lower doses of gamma irradiation and EMS treatments. Increase in variance was observed in the treat- ed populations for all traits studied but the magnitude was more for height and less. for seed yield per plant. The heritability and genetic advance wore more for height. days to flower and number of pads per plant.
