Abstract
Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most coMMercial and nutritional important vegetable crops belongs to the night shade family Solanaceae, and it orginate in South America but first domesticated in Mexico and now widely cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Tomato is a protective food because it provides large amount of nutrients like β-carotene, lycopene, vitamin C and flavonoids. In addition to that tomato very familiar, because the presence of lycopene’s and it have good anti-oxidative activities and anti-cancer functions. In this present investigation, to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of chemical mutagens; Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS), Diethyl Sulphate (DES) and Sodium Azide (SA) using different concentration. The parameters in M1 generation like 15th day Plant seedlings, 30th-day plant height, Number of Branches per plant, Days to first flowering, No. of Leaves per plant, No. of flowers per plant, No. of branches per plant, No. of Cluster per plant and Number of fruits per plant were observed that, all the parameters except days to first flowering show a concentrations dependent decreased in treatments. From this observation, all the parameters (except days to first flowering) gradually decreased in all the concentration of EMS, DES and SA from10 MM to 50 MM.
