EVALUATION OF GAMMA RADIATION-INDUCED MUTANT LINES OF SESAME (SESAMUM INDICUM L.) FOR GENETIC IMPROVEMENT OF SOME DESIRABLE TRAITS
ABSTRACT The creation, evaluation and selection of mutants with desirable traits have served as source of genetic variability for breeding programmes of many crops. Thus, eleven mutant lines of sesame developed through induced gamma irradiation were evaluated in the M4 generation alongside the three parental varieties . The mutant lines and their respective checks were laid in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates each. All the parameters ...
