Experiment Background
|
Banana (Musa spp.) represent one of the most important crops in the world as well as India, having the highest demand amongst every household as a staple fruit. Continuous crop improvement for enhanced and new agronomical traits is a time of need. The progress of banana improvement by conventional methods has been relatively slow or even hindered due to narrow genetic variability resulting from the low female fertility. Hence, mutagenesis treatments to create improved cultivar of banana should be considered. Mutagenesis is defined as the exposing of every type of biological substance to a physical or chemical mutagen to enhance the frequency of mutation above normal rate. Chemical mutagens could be applied successfully where no irradiation facility is accessible. Furthermore, as compared with physical mutagens, chemicals may increase gene mutation (point mutation) rather than chromosomal changes. Hence, the current study will be carried out to enhance the chance of variation induce by given chemical mutagen on macro-propagated banana suckers. The growth and survival rate reduction by assessing the treatments that result in a 50% reduction of growth and survival (LD50). Further, the plant material will be evaluated for mutation and field performance. |
