Studies On Induced Mutations In Winged Bean : Frequency And Spectrum Of Chlorophyll Mutations

A. S. Sonavane

Abstract :

 The seeds of winged bean ( Psophocarpus tetragonolobus ( L.) DC.) variety II– EC– 178313 and 2I– EC–38825 were treated with different concentrations of chemical mutagenic agents like Ethyl methane sulfonate ( EMS) and Sodium azide ( SA) separately. Mutagenic treatments resulted in induction of four types of chlorophyll mutants such as xantha, chlorina chloroxantha and virids. In M2 generation.Among the two chemical mutagens, EMS proved to be very much successful in inducing the highest frequency of chlorophyll mutants in both the varieties of winged bean. The mutagen EMS failed to produce the xantha mutant in both varieties ( II– EC–178313 and 2I– EC–38825) of winged bean.
