Abstract

Amol Chandrakant Vikhe* and Janardhan Nehul

In present investigation an attempt was made to induce mutation with mutagens namely Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS), Sodium azide (SA) and Gamma Radiation (GR)were studied in M2 generation of Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek Cultivar-Naval to study different morphological mutations. The results indicated induction of a wide spectrum of morphological mutations in cultivar-Naval. The frequency of morphological mutations was variated and significant in mutagenic treatments. The cultivar-Naval was found to be more sensitive to EMS, SA and GR.
