Studies on Induction of Mutation in Fenugreek (Trigonella fonum-graecum)
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Mutation means a sudden heritable change in the genetic material at the gene on chromosome level. Mutations are the tools used to study the nature and function of genes which are the building blocks and basis of plant growth and development, thereby producing raw materials for genetic improvement of economic crops The present investigation was conducted to study the mutagenic effect of gamma rays, EMS and SA in the local variety of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.). Fenugreek seeds were treated with four doses and concentrations of each gamma rays (l00Gy, 200Gy, 300Gy & 400Gy), EMS (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% & 0.4%) and SA (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% & 0.4%) respectively. M1 and M2 generations were raised during summer seasons. The main objective of the study was to induce the genetic variability in quantitative traits and to isolate the promising mutants associated with increase in yield potential of the crop. The other parameters of the study included: 1. Biological damage in M1 generation. 2. Effectiveness and efficiency of the mutagens and 3. Spectrum and frequency of macro mutations.
