Title: Mutagenesis for Oligogenic Traits with Gamma Rays and EMS in Soybean (Glycine max L.)
Abstract: Induced qualitative mutation in JS-335 Soybean cultivar consisted of chlorophyll and viable mutants. The combination treatments exhibit wide spectrum and frequency on both M1 family and M2 plant basis for both. Increased in doses and concentrations of mutagens showed increased in spectrum and frequency. Chlorophyll mutants viz. albino, albo-viridis, xantha, xantha- viridis and viridis and viable mutants viz., plant type, leaf, growth habit, flowering, pod, kernel and economic mutation were observed. Desirable mutants like bold poded, early maturing, and high yielding were also isolated.
