Cluster Analysis of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Mutant Lines of Using Morphological Parameters

In current decades, a large number of crop types have been grown using mutation rearing. In present investigation, gamma irradiated indica edible grain cultivar Rajendra Mahsuri 1 were morphologically analysed for identify candidate mutants. M3 mutation lines were screened using eleven semantic characteristics. Morphological investigations disclosed that gamma irradiation established enough variability for selection of distinguishing traits. We have observed colossal variation in maturity (105 and 135 days) and plant crest (45 to 160 cm) in M3 mutant lines. The results of morphological study showed a lot of potential for identifying beneficial mutations precipitated due to gamma irradiation.
