Abstract

A spontaneous mutation of the chickpea cultivar K-850 is reported. The mutant had multipinnate leaf. The inheritance of this mutant was studied in F1 and F2 generation of the crosses involving K-850, HYb 16-3 and JG-62 with normal leaf. In the cross Mutant x K-8SO, F3 generation was also studied. The segregation patterns of these crosses suggested that the mutation is monogenic recessive.
