Chlorophyll mutations in mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek)

Abstract:
Chlorophyll mutations in two varieties ('ML-5' and 'K-851') of mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) were studied severally and in combination following treatment with gamma rays and EMS. Frequencies, spectra and inheritance patterns are reported and discussed. Genotypic differences were observed with regard to frequency and spectrum. Combined treatments produced higher mutation frequencies than individual treatments. Albina and xantha appeared more frequently, relative to other chlorophyll mutations. Inheritance of albina, chlorina, xantha and virescens types in different generations revealed that each of them was monogenically controlled and was recessive in nature.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
