Abstract
Natural and induced mutants are the primary resource for understanding the functions of the genes. The study of lethal dose (LD) and development of 300Gy, 400Gy, and 500Gy gamma irradiation population in Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. ArkaVikas was carriedout in the present investigation. The highest germination percentage was recorded in control (98.53%). The germination percentage reduction, seedling height decline, and decreased pollen fertility in M1 generation was noted with the increasing gamma radiation dose. The 300Gy irradiation caused 41.73% seed germination reduction and was considered an appropriate irradiation dose to develop a mutagenized population. A total of 3000 seeds have been irradiated with 300Gy of gamma rays and 1,748 (58.26%) M1 mutagenized plants have survived and out of these 1,185 viable fertile plants were noted. In M1 generation two chlorophyll mutants have been identified. Six plants from each M2 line were screened based on morphological alterations and six putative mutants (0.51%) were identified. The identified mutant lines displayed a varied range of morphological variations that include altered chlorophyll content, elongated fruits, and orange color fruit.
期刊介绍:
The Association of Biotechnology and Pharmacy (ABAP) will be useful to form a forum for scientists so that they can bring together to discuss and find scientific solutions to the problems of society. The annual meetings will help the members to share their knowledge and publish their research knowledge particularly by members and fellows of the Association and special care will be taken to provide an opportunity for young scientists. Besides this the association is planned to organize symposia, seminars and workshops on current developments of Biotechnology and Pharmacy particularly on the subject of current scientific interest, and the proceedings of which will be published regularly. And in view of the vast development of science and to disseminate the problems in publication of research work, an international journal of Current Trends in Biotechnology and Pharmacy has been started by ABAP.
