- Observation Phenotyping isolated two high-yielding putative cowpea mutants.
- Intervention effect At 0.02% SA, mean seed yield reached 65.00 gm, reported as a highest increase.
- Intervention effect At 0.02% MMS, mean seed yield reached 65.07 gm, reported as a highest increase.
- Intervention effect Mutagenized populations differed significantly from controls.
- Association Seed weight correlated positively with yield.
- Association Plant height correlated positively with yield.
- Observation Clustering classified five mutagenized populations into four groups.
- Observation Two principal components explained more than 95% of variation in mutagen-treated populations.
- Observation Seeds per pod had maximum positive PC1 loading in the MMS population.
- Observation Days to flowering had maximum positive PC2 loading in the MMS population.
- Observation Days to flowering had maximum positive PC2 loading in the SA population.
- Observation Putative mutants had higher yield potential than control plants.
- Recommendation The authors propose the putative mutants for future cowpea breeding.
