Increased mutation frequencies in the M2 generation derived from irradiated in vitro cotyledonary plants of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)

  • 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India)

Description

M1 generation mungbean plants were raised from seeds exposed to gamma rays either directly or from the in vitro culture of excised cotyledons, and distinct viable and chlorophyll mutations were scored in the M2 progeny. The spectrum of mutants in the two populations was similar, but more mutants were found in the progeny of in vitro-raised cotyledonary plants. This difference may arise from the additive effect of gamma rays and in vitro culture. 3 refs, 1 tabs
