Induction of mutations for plant height and inheritance of dwarf mutant in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) through gamma ray irradiation
Gamma ray induced mutagenesis of groundnut cultitvar TAG 24 evolved true breeding several mutantsaffecting various morphological traits. Among them, 16 mutants were dwarf and three were tall. Plant heightwas reduced by 24.5% to 41.0% in dwarf mutants and increased by 13.1 to 30.6% in tall mutants. P...
