Abstract

Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC. has been described as a wonder legume in the sense that virtually every part of the plant is edible and comprises a rich source of good quality of protein. However it possesses few drawbacks which obstruct the wide scale popularization among the farmers. In the present investigation, the seeds of winged bean of variety II-EC-178313 and 2I-EC-38825 were treated with two chemical mutagens namely Ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) and Sodium azide (SA) to induce mutations. These treated seeds were sown in field to raise M1 generation and the effects of EMS and SA on plant survival were observed. The survival of plants at maturity expressed as percent of control showed a gradual decrease with an increase in concentration of the two mutagens. The main objective of this study is to develop the improved varieties of winged bean by using the novel approach of mutation breeding.
