Abstract

Cytological analysis with respect to meiotic behaviour is considered to be the one of the most dependable indices to estimate the potency of mutagens and to elucidate the response of various genotypes to a particular mutagen. Seeds of Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet var. typicus cv. CO(Gb)14 were subjected to different doses/concentrations of gamma rays and EMS. The effects of different mutagenic treatments on meiosis were studied on treated and control plants. Various types of meiotic aberrations such as stickiness, clumping of chromosomes, laggards, ring chromosomes and precocious movements were observed in the mutagenic treatments. As increase in the concentration, the frequency of cells showing chromosomal aberrations shows a linear increase up to a certain level. However, the EMS treatments proved to be more effective in inducing meiotic aberrations as compared to gamma rays.
