Abstract excerpt
Blackgram, an important pulse crop of India and other Asian countries, is a rich source of protein. Genetic improvement in this crop is generally slow-paced due to the lack of wide genetic variability available for selection. To create variability for important morphological traits and yield, induced mutagenesis was attempted in a popular blackgram cultivar CO 6 using gamma rays (γ rays-60Co) and a combination of...
