Abstract
This study was performed by exposing the seeds of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) to gamma rays, ethyl methanesulphonate [EMS] and sodium azide [SA]. The observations were made on seed germination, seedling height, plant survival and pollen fertility. The study revealed that germination percentage, seedling height, percent survival and pollen fertility decreased with an increase in dose/concentration of the mutagens. The results conclude that treatments of gamma rays were more effective in reducing germination and survival percentage and seedling height as compared to EMS and SA (ϒ-rays>EMS>SA). On the other hand EMS treatments were more superior to gamma rays and SA in inducing pollen sterility (EMS>ϒ-rays>SA). Lower treatments of all the three mutagens have influenced less biological damage and would be suitable for inducing desirable mutations in fenugreek.
