Mutation Breeding: Theory and Practical Application in Vicia faba L: Genetic Variability induced by EMS and Pb(NO3)2 in Vicia faba L - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

In present time, food scarcity becomes major issue in the whole world. the sustainable agricultural boost for yield, nutrition, disease resistant and adaptability of major crop is solution to this situation. grain legume is protein rich and affordable food, and also have micronutrients. Due to selection pressure and environmental stress over the generation limits the availability of variations for breeding programmes may cause the narrowing genetic base of grain legumes. Genetic variability is major tool for successful crop improvement programme, and induce genomic variability is the essence of mutation breeding. The overall aim of the present mutation breeding experiment is to improve the quality, diversity and performance of Vicia faba L. genotype with the objective of developing mutant varieties better adapted to human needs. The details of experimental outcome is described in this reference book for practical understanding of background, objectives and procedures of mutation breeding in grain legumes using chemical mutagenesis.
