Abstract:
This thesis work was oriented towards the study of the M1 parameters, and the chlorophyll mutation spectrum in the M2 generation of the X-ray irradiated seeds of K-1 variety of Chillies (Capsicum annuum L.) Dry paroline seeds of chillies were subjected to X-ray treatment at doses of 1000, 4000, 8000 and 15000 units employing a Superficial Therapy Medical X-ray unit. Germination tests showed higher percentage of germination in the control than in the treatments.
