Comparative Mutagenic Effectiveness and Efficiency of Gamma Rays and Sodium Azide in Inducing Chlorophyll and Morphological Mutants of Cowpea

Aamir Raina et al.

Summary: This study evaluates genetic diversity in M-2 mutants of cowpea and demonstrates the effectiveness of sodium azide and gamma rays in inducing chlorophyll and morphological mutants with desirable agronomic traits. The research highlights the potential of gamma rays and sodium azide for enhancing genetic diversity in cowpea through induced mutagenesis.

Gamma Rays and Sodium Azide Induced Genetic Variability in High-Yielding and Biofortified Mutant Lines in Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.]

Aamir Raina et al.

Summary: Developing countries face the challenges of high population growth and extreme weather events, resulting in millions of people lacking access to adequate and balanced food. Legumes, such as cowpea, have the potential to increase agricultural productivity and achieve sustainable development goals. A multi-year field experiment was conducted to improve the seed yield and genetic variability of cowpea through induced mutagenesis. The study successfully identified new high-yielding and nutrient-dense mutant lines, which can serve as valuable genetic resources for improving low-yielding warm-season grain legumes.
