Abstract

The present studies were carried out to have an insight about chromosomal abnormalities by the use of EMS as radiomimetic agents in Trigonella foenum-graecum L, viz. methi. Mutation breeding in crop plants such as fenugreek is a successful approach in change of product having narrow genetic base. This study is to the determine the effect of physical mutagen (EMS) were used. The seeds were treating with different doses/concentration of EMS. The objectives of the present were:- (i) To study the effect of mutagenic treatments on various biological parameters. (ii) To investigate the chromosome behaviour of treated populations with respect to controls.

Keywords: Methi; EMS; Treatment; Mutagen; Chromosome.
