Seed coat color, weight and eye pattern inheritance in gamma-rays induced cowpea M2-mutant line

Gamma radiation is a very effective tool for inducing genetic variation in characters of many plants. Black seeds of M2 mutant were obtained after exposure of an Egyptian cowpea cultivar (Kaha 1) to a low dose of gamma rays. Segregation of seed coat color, weight of 100 seeds and seed eye pattern of...
