Assessment of early generation performances of durum wheat (Triticum durum l.desf.)

A total of 96 mutant lines were sown in augmented design with 4 check varieties without replications in 6 blocks. When mutants and control genotypes in the M5 generation were investigated for six characters, a considerable number of mutants within the desired characters were obtained. Application of mutation doses resulted in significantly short genotypes among the selected mutant genotypes in the M5. The majority of M4 mutant lines had suitable genotypes in terms of plant height and heading, test weight and a thousand kernel weights.
