3. Groundnut
• Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) or peanut is
one among the five extensively grown oil
crops.
• The groundnut seed has dual advantage of
being important as a source of edible oil as
well as protein.
• It is self pollinating and possesses limited
variability.

4. Traits for mutation
 Large seeds,
 High pod yield,
 Resistance to late leaf spot,
 Resistance to pests such that Spodoptera
litura and thrips,
 higher shelling percentage.

6. CASE STUDY

7.  Due to narrow genetic base of groundnut (Arachis
hypogaea L.).
 Treated seeds of TFDRG 5 with 200 and 300 Gy of
gamma rays and with 1, 2 and 3 mM of sodium
azide(NaN3) singly and in combination.
• For NaN3 treatment, seeds were initially soaked in
distilled water for 4h and then treated with NaN3.
After treatment, seeds were washed properly
under running tap water and then dried under
blotting sheets to remove excess water.
 The combination of 200 Gy and 3 mM of NaN3
induced maximum number of mutants with a
frequency of 2.48% in M2 generation.

8. RESULTS
Maximum numbers of mutants were obtained
for the leaf related traits(small leaf,narrow
leaf, disease mimic leaf, mosaic leaf, virescent
leaf, twisted leaf and Fused Terminal Leaflet)
 15 to 53% superiority along with resistance to
rust.

9. Wheat
• Wheat (Triticum species) is a crop of global
significance. It is grown in diversified
environments.
• It is a staple food of millions of people.
• It supplies about 20 per cent of the food
calories for the world's growing population.
• India is the second largest producer of wheat
after China.

10. Traits for mutation
 High yield.
 Nutritional quality.
 Resistance to diseases.
 Higher Polshenke value suggesting stronger
gluten.
 Salinity tolerance.
 Early maturity.
 high protein content.
bread and chapati making.

12. CASE STUDY

13.  An old tall cultivar of bread wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) cv. ‘Kharchia 65’ was used in this
study.
Treated with acute doses of 10, 20,30 and 40
kR of gamma rays at the rate of 5.6 r/second
from gamma cell at Genetic Division , IARI.
Mutants characterized by reduced plant
height, square head, awnless ear, amber seed
colour, bold seeds and storage capacities

14. Jute
• Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibers.
• It is second only to cotton in amount produced
and variety of uses of vegetable fibers.
• Jute fibers are composed primarily of the plant
materials cellulose and lignin.
• Jute is also called the golden fiber for its color and
high cash value.
• Two types White jute(Corchorus capsularis) and
Tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius)

15. Traits for mutation
 High fibre yield.
 White color of fibre.
 Resistance to virus diseases.
 Plant height.

 Mutagen - 18,000 r X-rays
RESULTS
The Ieaves were much smaller ia size than
those of the control plants.
 The differences in plant height, basal
diameter, and leaf dimensions

19. Hibiscus
• Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in
the mallow family, Malvaceae.
• Also called as rose mallow.
• The flowers are large, trumpet-shaped, with
five or more petals, color from white to pink,
red, orange, peach, yellow or purple.
• It is an example of complete flowers.

20. Traits for mutation
 Flower color.
 Larger flower size.
 Smaller leaves.
 Small plant height.

23.  Variety "Sabahia 17" used in this investigation.
 Irradiated with gamma rays (100, 200, 300,
400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 Gy)
RESULTS
