Effect of Mutagenic Treatments of Methyl Glyoxal in Producing High Yielding Mutants In Finger Millet ( Eleusinecoracana, Gaertn )
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
An investigation was carried out in CO 13 finger millet variety to develop the mutants for desirable traits. Healthy and dry seeds were exposed to Methyl glyoxal at various concentrations viz., 0.015, 0.03,0.045 and 0.06. M1 was raised for all concentrations and all the plants in M1 were forwarded to M2 generation. Different morphological mutants such as modified earhead, earhead with more fingers, curled stem and leaf were observed in M2 generation at 0.03% concentration. One hundred mutants were selected in M2 and1 00 M3 family rows were raised and evaluated for yield and its characters along with check (untreated CO 13) and in sodicity condition. Among these, nine mutants (M29,M30,M31,M40,M55,M67,M74,M88 andM100) were selected based on yield and early duration
