Induced mutations in chickpea-morphological mutants

  • Research Article
  • Published:
Frontiers of Agriculture in China

Abstract

Seeds of two varieties (PUSA-212 and BG-256) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were treated with 0.03% concentration of hydrazine hydrate (HZ), methylmethane sulphonate (MMS) and sodium azide (SA) for 6 h. The M2 generation was grown from single plant M1 progeny seeds. Five morphological mutants (dwarf, bushy, one sided branch, narrow leaf and gigas) were isolated in M2 generation. Some of these mutants may be directly used in selection whereas some are useful in combination breeding programs.
