Induced dwarf mutant of lentil, RPL-1
Description
Full text: Seeds of LL-78 variety of lentil were irradiated with 5, 10, 15, 20 krad of gamma rays. In M2 from 20 krad treatment, a plant with dwarf stature was obtained. Its height was 16 cm, the parent plant 42 cm. In M3 (1985-86 winter season) 23 plants could be grouped into two classes. Sixteen plants were shorter than 10 cm (dwarf) and seven were between 20 and 30 cm (semi-dwarf). Dwarf plant bred true in M4 but semi-dwarf segregated in the ratio of 1 dwarf: 1 semi-dwarf. This dwarf mutant line, RPL-1 is the dwarfest genotype of lentil so far known. It may be useful in lentil breeding to evolve high yielding dwarf varieties suitable for areas where lentil plants lodge due to excessive vegetative growth. (author)
