Abstract:Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea) is one of most popular and cheap source of plant protein and minerals worldwide. The present study was directed to induce variations in seed characters of chickpea “Vijay”, especially with reference to increase in its protein and mineral content using gamma radiations as mutagenic agent. M2 population of Cicer arietinum L. “Vijay” after post-harvest analysis revealed that 300 Gy dose of gamma radiations induced significant variations in seed characters including seed size, surface… Show more
