Abstract
The seeds of variety Pusa A-4 were treated with gamma-rays at three diffeen
t doses of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 KGy. In M-1 generation there was reduction in s
eed germination and pollen fertility. An interesting feature observed was t
he peculiar 'Y' shaped branching in treated plants at 0.4 and 0.6 KGy doses
. In M-2 generation few morphological mutants were isolated. Seventy five p
er cent of the observed mutants were isolated from the 0.6 KGy dose.
