Ethyl methane sulfonate induced mutations in M2 generation and physiological variations in M1 generation of peppers (Capsicum annuum L.)

Ethyl methane sulfonate induced mutations in M2 generation and physiological variations in M1 generation of peppers (Capsicum annuum L.)

This study was conducted to enhance genetic variability in peppers (Capsicum annuum, cv B12) using ethyl methansulphonate (EMS). Exposure to an EMS concentration of 0.6%, v/v for 12 hours was used to mutagenize 2000 seeds for the first generation (M1). It was observed that the growth behaviors inclu...
