Abstract

In course of an experiment, two useful mutants were induced by gamma rays in Kalitur, a locally adapted Indian cultivar of soybean. The mutants mature earlier by 17–19 days. The plants of the mutants are determinate and the seeds brown. The plant morphology, yield and utility of mutants are described.
