Effect of pre-sowing treatments with chemical mutagens on seed germination and growth performance of jamun (Syzygium cuminiL. Skeels) under different potting substrates

Abstract: Introduction. Jamun, propagated through seed for raising rootstock, involves a lot of cost and risk for maintenance until attainment of graftable size. Use of suitable growing substrates is essential for production of quality nursery plants. Chemical mutagenesis is a simple approach to create mutation in plants for improvement of potential agronomic traits in rootstock materials. Materials and methods. Seeds originating from a single 'elite' tree were soaked in 0.1 and 0.5% ethyl methane sulfonate and colchici… Show more
