Mutagenic Effect of Gamma Rays and EMS on Seed Germination, Seedling Height Reduction and Survivability of Chick Pea (<i>Cicer arietinum</i> L.) Var. Co-4

Abstract: The effect of gamma irradiation and EMS treatment on seed germination and seedling height of Chick pea (Cicer arietinum. L.). In this regard Co-4 variety of chick pea was subjected to different doses/concentrations of gamma rays (20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 kR) and EMS (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mM) for inducing mutation. The effect of mutagen was observed on the basis of percentage of seed germination, seedling height reduction at 15 th day and survivability. From the result it was observed that, the percentage of see… Show more

“…Seed germination decreased with increased concentration of EMS in both the varieties in both the methods. Similar results were already been published byBoranayaka et al (2010),Kumari et al (2014),Umavathi and Mullainathan. (2014) andAnbarasan et al (2014).…”

“…The results seems unusual because generally the percentage of germination decreased as the concentration of mutagens increased. The reduction in germination may be due to genetic and physiological proses inhibited by the mutagens resulting in cell maturity (Umavathi & Mullainathan, 2014). On the other side, Roychowdhury & Tah (2011) reported that increasing the doses of colchicine were able to increase the germination percentage of Dianthus caryphyllus.…”

“…Mutation induction is a part of domestication programme, in order to utilizing and cul- tivating wild species. Mutagens have the ability to cause biological damage and it can be measured based on the seed germination and survival reduction in M1 generation (Umavathi & Mullainathan, 2014). However, the percentage of seed germination was not always decreased with increasing doses/concentration of gamma rays and oryzalin in wild raspberries.…”
