Abstract
mutation in pea seeds by considering various morphological and agronomical characters such as the onset of germination,
plant height, number of tendrils, days for flowering and branches at maturity. Seeds were treated with 0.1% of EMS and
compared with control seeds. The M1 generation has produced from the mutagen treated seeds. Thus, the material has
shown great variation with respect to morphological and agronomical characters. Significant results have been observed
with respect to germination period: mutant pea seeds took two to fourteen days to germinate while control seed took two
to four days to germinate. Also, a significant reduction in the maturity of tendrils and their respective heights was observed
after 18 days of mutant germination. Non-significant results were observed with respect to number of days taken for
flowering and branches at maturity as compared to control. Significant reduction in height has been observed at maturity
in mutant as compared to control.
