Abstract:
In groundnut, two identical mutants with disease lesion mimic leaf trait were isolated independently from two different parents through induced mutagenesis and in vitro culture technique. The leaf chlorophyll content in both the mutants was found to be drastically reduced. The segregation pattern in the F(2) and F(3) generations for normal and mutant traits fitted a 13:3 ratio, indicating that the disease lesion mimic trait in the mutants was due to suppressive gene action. Both mutants were allelic for the disease mimic trait.
