Abstract
Cowpea is one of the most important food crops and it's the ability to grow in a wide range of climate conditions. The aim of the investigation to assess the mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency of gamma rays in the M2 generation of cowpea. The seeds were treated with different doses of gamma irradiation such as 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 1200 Gy. The biological damage is a measure based on the lethality and injury of the M1 generation. Mutants were recorded in M2 generation and to calculate the effectiveness and efficiency of gamma rays. The present results revealed that both mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency were higher at lower doses of irradiation. In 200 Gy and 400 Gy, doses showed better mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency than the other irradiation doses. Hence, gamma irradiation induces a high impact in lower doses and less biological damage in higher doses.
