Abstract

The effect of gamma rays on germination, morphological yield and yield components characters in Winged Bean was studied by treating the seeds with different doses of gamma rays. The morphological, yield and yield components characters e.g. Plant height, number of branches, pod girth, pod length, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, days to maturity and seed yield decreased with increasing dose ofgamma rays.
