Abstract :

The effect of mutagenesis was studied in lentil varieties K-75 and L-4076. Seeds of lentil varieties K-75 and L-4076 were subjected to 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03% and 0.04% of methyl methanesulphonate (MMS).The mutagenic treatments of methyl methanesulphonate caused biological damage which was measured by M1parameters. Data on various quantitative traits such as plant height, days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, fertile branches/plant, pods/plant, no. of seeds/pods, 100 seeds weight (g) and total plant yield (g) were also recorded in both varieties of lentil. The mutants were morphologically quite distinct, as compared to the control and to each other. The mean values of plant height, fertile branches/plant and pods/plants were found to be significant in both varieties and no. of seed/pods were found to be significant in both varieties. No. of seeds/pods and 100 seeds weight did not show any significant difference. The total plant yield did not show significant in var. K-75 but it is significant in var. L-4076.
