Mutagenic Effect on Seed Germination, Seedling Growth and Seedling Survival of Pigeon Pea (<i>Cajanus cajan</i> (L.) Millsp)

Abstract: In the present investigation the seeds of Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp) were treated with different doses of gamma radiation (05KR, 10KR, 15KR, 20KR, 25KR, 30KR, 35KR, 40KR, 45KR, and 50KR) and concentration of Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (05mM, 10mM, 15mM, 20mM, 25mM, 30mM, 35mM, 40mM, 45mM, and 50mM) for studying seed germination, seedling height, (shoot and root), seedling injury, seedling vigour index, and seedling survival of plants at 30th day. The seed germination percentage was decreased with inc… Show more

“…Further these reductions are caused due to that the seed absorbs the mutagen that subsequently reaching the meristem region and impact the germ cell line (Serrat et al, 2014). Same observation has been reported by Ariramana et al (2014), Kumar and Mishra (2004) and Baghery et al (2016).…”

“…Earlier research work has shown that in okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus ), germination percentage generally decreased with increasing dose concentrations of gamma rays and the EMS levels ( Gupta et al, 2016 ). Reduced germination percentage with increasing doses of gamma radiation has also been reported in pinus ( Ariraman et al, 2014 ), rye ( Khah & Verma, 2015 ), and chickpea plants ( Shah et al, 2008 ). A gradual reduction in germination percentage was also observed with an increase in the concentration of mutagen, reaching more than 50% lethality at 0.5% EMS level in two genotypes of tobacco plants ( Dhakshanamoorthy, Selvaraj & Chidambaram, 2010 ).…”

“…In the greenhouse, the seedlings were irrigated with distilled water. After two weeks, the shoot and root lengths were measured using the sandwich blotter technique ( Ariraman et al, 2014 ). After sown on the nursery bed, the emergence was recorded for each dose after germination.…”

“…Biological damages induced by mutagen could be considered an indicator of mutagenic sensitivity of the genotypes [ 46 ]. In the present study, higher mutagen doses induced more reduction in bio-physiological traits that might be attributed to cellular disturbances [ 47 ]. The results were in accordance with the findings of [ 48 ] in Cicer arietinum and are discussed below:…”
