Evaluation and characterization of EMS derived mutant populations in mango

Hormonal changes in gamma irradiated and EMS induced mutants of Kinnow mandarin (Citrus nobilis Loureiro × Citrus deliciosa Tenora)

“…It was found to be more in less vigour mutants developed at higher concentration, so plant height can be negatively correlated with ABA content. The findings are in accordance with Murti & Upreti, 2003 and Rime et al, 2019 [9,13] , who reported elevated ABA level in less vigorous plants of mango.…”

Characterization of EMS Induced Putative Kinnow Mandarin Mutants for Growth, Yield and Quality Traits

“…The varying response of EMS treatment on plant growth exhibited an inhibitory effect on plant height at a higher dose of EMS concentration in contrast to the mutants developed from lower doses where a stimulated response was observed. The reduction in plant height may be attributed to reduced internodal distances as also reported earlier in mango (Rime et al, 2019) and in barley dwarf mutant (Sethi 1974). Reduction in plant height might have also taken place due to the damage incurred by EMS in the GA biosynthesis pathway (Arisha et al, 2015) leading to a reduced level of gibberellic acid (GA) which was also observed in the present study (data not given).…”

Morphological, molecular and phytochemical variations induced by colchicine and EMS chemical mutagens in Crocus sativus L.

“…The potential of induced mutations in the crop genetic improvement has already been shown and this method can efficiently enhance natural genetic resources. Induced mutations play a key role in enhancing food security worldwide, as creating new types of food crops has contributed to the growth of crop production ( Kharkwal and Shu, 2009 , Rime et al, 2019 ). The induced mutations, generated by physical (radiation) or chemical mutagens, make random changes in nuclear or cytoplasmic DNA.…”
