Genetic Variability and Association among Various Traits in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) Mutants
Keywords:
Chickpea, EMS, Gamma Rays, M<sub>3</sub>, Mutation, Variability.Abstract
M3 generation of chickpea obtained through mutagenesis by EMS, gamma rays and combination of both, was evaluated for variability with respect to ten traits viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, plant height, primary branches per plant, pods per plant, seeds per pod, biological yield perplant, harvest index, seed yield per plant and 100 seed weight. Sufficient genetic variability was observed for seed yield and related traits. Further, the association of these traits with yield was evaluated to facilitate indirect selection. Correlation studies revealed that seed yield per plant had a positive and significant association with pods per plant, seeds per pod, harvest index and 100-seed weight. High genetic advance coupled with high heritability estimates observed for biological yield per plant, seeds per pod, 100 seed weight and seed yield per plant indicated the predominance of additive gene action in the inheritance of these characteristics.Downloads
