Abstract

Capsicum genus being the family of Solanaceae comprises of approximately 20 species gained immense momentum towards the genetic mutational growing at tropical and subtropical regions of the World. The present research work was framed out to evaluate the morphological and cytological variations in Chilli plant. During these studies we have screened various parameters such as, seed germination, plant height, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, number of branches, number of leaves etc,. Using single concentration of EMS (0.1%) the seeds are treated at various time periods viz., 6, 12, 24hrs. The healthy seed germination and overall morphological and cytological variations were observed with seeds treated for 6hrs time period. The results are compared with healthy control plant. According to our results, every parameter that we have tested exhibited grater variations in 6 hrs treated plants compared with that from 12 and 24 hrs and control plants.
