Assessment of Gamma rays induced variability in M2 generation of Sesamum (Sesamum indicum L.)
Author(s): R Kumar and N Shunmugavalli
Abstract: A study was carried out for the assessment of magnitude of variability induced by various doses of gamma irriadiations viz., 300, 350, 400 and 450 Gy in M2 progenies of Sesamum variety VRI 2 and TMV 7. The evaluation of 102 M2 progenies grown in RBD for varoius yield attributing characters indicated significant differences between the progenies for plant height, Days to Maturity, number of barnches per plant, Capsule lenth, Number of seed per capsul and single plant yield. Based on Height mean and CV progenies 400 and 450 were found to have desirable character combinations and selection cane be made for desirable plant type for crop improvement programme in sesamum.
