Inducing Genetic Variability for Yield and Growth Traits in Kidney Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Using Physical and Chemical Mutagenesis
Induced mutagenesis is a successful method for producing new genetic variability in self-pollinated crops with limited natural diversity. The current study assessed the impact of gamma radiation (10kR, 15kR, 20kR and 25 kR), ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS; 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.20% and 0.25%) and Sodium azide (SA; 0.010%, 0.015...
