Genetic variability and heritability in 2nd generation mutant population from “Gando Keta” sorghum mutation
Abstract:Importance of the work:The sorghum mutant "Gando Keta"is known to have a sticky texture but low production levels, with mutations expected to produce plants with improved yields. Objectives: To use gamma radiation to produce sorghum mutants of "Gando Keta" with high yield and fluffy texture. Materials & Methods: Explants (2 mm high, aged 3 d) were exposed to radiation doses in the range 10-100 Gy in 10 Gy increments. The shoots were acclimatized and their variability was observed. Then, 30 2 nd generation muta… Show more
