Effect of Gamma Rays in Induced Morphological Mutants on M₂ Generation of Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) Var K₁

The present study was carried out to induce morphological mutation in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) var k₁. The seeds were subjected to different treatment levels of gamma rays are 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70Kr along with control. The treated and untreated seeds were raised in a randomized block design to observe the different morphological characters in M₂ generation. Several unique and interesting mutants were isolated in this investigation, these independent mutants have differ from control, the most distinct mutants included tall, dwarf, bushy, flower, sterile and pod mutant, was observed in M₂ generation.
