Abstract
The present investigation was taken up to estimate the mutagenic sensitivity of blackgram variety CO 6 with gamma rays and EMS (Ethyl methane sulfonate). The seeds of CO 6 were treated with 200, 300, 400 Gy of gamma rays and five different concentrations of EMS from 1mM to 5mM. Based on the germination percentage, the LD50 (lethal dose) were recorded for Gamma rays and EMS was 313.61 Gy and 23.11 mM respectively. Gamma rays and EMS showed a dose dependent response with germination percentage, shoot, and root length and pollen fertility percentage. In comparison with gamma rays, chemical mutagen (EMS) has more pronounced effect on shoot length (73.59 %) and root length (64.80 %) reduction over control.The result was ascertained that the pollen fertility was more sensitive to both the mutagens (Gamma rays and EMS) followed by root length. The LD50 doses identified from this study could be employed for inducing a wider range of desirable...
