Title: Effect of Gamma Rays in Induced Morphological Mutants on M<sub>2</sub> Generation of Chilli (<i>Capsicum annu</i><i></i><i>um </i>L<i>.</i>) Var K<sub>1</sub>
Abstract: The present study was carried out to induce morphological mutation in chilli ( C apsicum ann u um L.) var k 1 . The seeds were subjected to different treatment levels of gamma rays are 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70Kr along with control. The treated and untreated seeds were raised in a randomized block design to observe the different morphological characters in M 2 generation. Several unique and interesting mutants were isolated in this investigation, these independent mutants have differ from control, the most distinct mutants included tall, dwarf, bushy, flower, sterile and pod mutant, was observed in M 2 generation.
