EMS, Gamma rays, Mutations, Seed colourAbstract
Macro-mutation (pre-breeding genetic stocks) using different doses of EMS, gamma rays and combination of both (EMS and Gamma rays) in two urdbean cultivars viz., Pant Urd 19 and Pant Urd 30 were induced. Out of 14 macro-mutations selected from different treatments of the mutagens in Pant U 19, narrow leaf mutant exhibited significantly higher yield/ plant as compared to the parent and other mutants viz., Non hairy, tall, and tendriller showed at par grain yield. All the seed and pod colour double mutations selected from the Pant U 30 showed significantly higher yield as compared to the parent. Such breeding stocks can be used for the further genetic enhancement of urdbean.
