Abstract

The effectiveness and efficiency of gamma rays and EMS in relation to chlorophyll mutations were studied in two rvrieties of
paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) viz., Ktp1-19 and Bydagi Kaddi in M2 generation. Four types of cholorphyll mutants namely
albina, xantha, chlorine, and viridis were observed. Orccurrence of chlorine type was found to be most frequent in the
spectrum of chlorophyll mutants. The gamma rays caused more viable mutations affecting plant stature, leaf modification,
duration, fruit type and colourant change followed by combination and EMS tratments.
