Abstract Effects of gamma and X-ray treatments were studied on three varieties of Coffea
arabica (Kent, Mundo Novo and Geisha) to determine their radiosensitivity and relative …

Waterlogging stress adversely affects crop growth and yield worldwide. Effect of sodium
azide priming on waterlogging stress tolerance of okra plants was investigated. The study …

To increase genetic variability within a crop, several plant breeding methods are followed.
One of the main methods is cross breeding with which the breeder tries to combine the …

Objective: Mutagenesis has been used in several crop improvement programmes but only
on a very limited scale for Digitaria improvement and in order to further strengthen the …

Increased production of sugarcane in Indonesia can be done with extensification sugarcane
plantations which largely dominated by acidic upland red-yellow podzolic soil. High …

Cumin production and productivity is very low because of lack in inherent capacity and
susceptibility to wilt and blight. This crop has low genetic variability for different essential …

Induced mutagenesis is now an established method for crop improvement. Mutation
techniques by using ionizing radiations and other mutagens have successfully produced …

The spectrum and frequency of chlorophyll mutations was assessed in M2 generation in
local cultivar of Horse gram [Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam) Verdcourt] with a range of EMS …

Mutation breeding is an important tool for creating variability and the source of new breeding
materials. Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS) is a very potent chemical mutagen. The present …
