Mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency of gamma rays and EMS in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)

Rajendra Satpute, Rajendra V. Fultambkar

Abstract

Mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency of EMS and gamma rays were studied in the two varieties of soybean (MAUS-71 and JS-335). Both mutagens produced high frequency as well as wide spectrum in mutation. The frequency of mutation was high at lower concentration % / dose of mutagen. The mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency was calculated based on biological damage. Mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency reduced with the increase in concentration / dose of mutagen. In present investigation EMS proved to be effective in two varieties and gamma rays proved to be more efficient.
