Variability studies in M4 generation

Mutagens are known to widen range of genetic variation for characters in plant. Therefore, induced mutation breeding was initiated for augmenting its productivity. Result of this investigation presented in this paper.

An investigation was carried out to study the effects of various doses (0.2 to 0.6%) of EMS on physico-quality traits of groundnut (Arachis hypogea L) in M4 families of the groundnut variety TPG 41. Among the different concentrations of EMS treated TPG 41 population, 0.2 % EMS was found to be effective in inducing variability for pod yield per plant, hundred kernel weight, shelling out turn and kernel length in M4 families.

Advanced mutant lines have been selected from M4 generation and its qualitative and quantitative characters were evaluated in spring-summer season at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal, during 2016. Different qualitative characters of mutant lines have been recorded and observed that the some characters changed from that of the parental control. Analysis of variance due to treatments was significant for all the characters proved higher variability among the mutant lines.
