A good number of diploid genetic mutants, RILs and
different cytogenetic stocks including a complete set of
primary trisomics and tetrasomics, some tertiary trisomics,
double trisomics and 10 reciprocal translocation lines were
developed and being characterized in induced mutant
population of seven different grass pea (Lathyrus sativus
L.) varieties. Genetic basis of mutants has been
investigated in intercrossed population and using trisomics
some of them were localized on chromosome. Utilization of
these novel genetic and cytogenetic stocks in improvement of
grass pea with high yield and low seed neurotoxin, ODAP
potential has been reviewed in this communication.
Key words:
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.), recombinant inbred
lines (RILs), ODAP. |
