Characterisation and segregation pattern of some macromutations induced in black gram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper)

Performance and segregation pattern of some black gram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) mutants was studied. Some mutants, such as shining-seeded, early, bold seeded, slow leaf senescence, erect, small-leaved, compact type etc., may prove useful for the impiovement of this crop. Most of the true breeding mutants were conditioned by a single recessive gene.
