Abstract
The mutagenic efficiency and effectiveness of gamma-rays (10, 15 and 20 kR) and ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2%) along with control were studied in two varieties of Paprika cv. Bydagi Kaddi based on M1 biological damages (lethality injury) and M2 viable mutagen frequency. Further mutagenic parameters like chlorophyll and total mutation frequency were also assessed in M2. The results indicated variable response of the variety to gamma rays and EMS. EMS has been found more effective; while, gamma irradiations were found efficient for inducing viable mutation.
