Abstract
Fennel is a major economical important crop, consumed as spices across the globally to fulfil the high traditional medicinal value. Because of its demands and Economical importance, it is required to induce changes in genotype and enhance the genetic variability. In this present investigation mutagenic treatment of EMS found to be potent and effective in enhancing quantitative and qualitative traits. Agronomic trait analysis showed inter and intra treatment phenotypic variations such as plant height, no of branches and seed yield. Cytological study revealed that higher frequency of chromosomal aberrations at higher doses in 5 h treatment as compared to 3h treatment and recovery rate was observed to be higher at lower doses which showed positive response in correspondence to duration. In this investigation, phenotypic categories of variants associated with the vegetative organs like plant size, leaf morphology and seed size were dominant in higher doses. Main objective of this experiments to select particular optimum mutagenic doses according to plant species for successful running of mutation breeding programs and also to optimize their adverse effect.
