Abstract :

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil seed crop and grain legume worldwide. It is self pollinating and possesses limited variability. Thus this study investigates the improvement of groundnut oil quantitatively and qualitatively by induced mutations with Gamma rays and EMS mutagens. Pertaining to the oil quantity 20 kR and 10 kR doses of gamma rays is more effective in variety AK-159 and TAG-24 respectively. While in improving oil quality the 0.15% concentration of EMS and 0.10% concentration of EMS are more potent in variety AK-159 and TAG-24 respectively. This work has enabled us to conclude that the oil content, fatty acid composition and oil stability could get alter in positive direction through the application of mutagen
