Abstract
Pulses are more prone to biotic and abiotic stresses as compared to cereals. There is a serious need to develop such varieties having high resistance to the above mentioned stresses. The present study was an effort to identify appropriate dose of mutagens for the elevation of cytological behavior through induced mutagenesis in Chickpea. For present study the local variety of Chickpea seeds were subjected to different concentrations of EMS. The treated root tips showed varying degree of mitotic abnormalities almost in all the concentrations of the EMS. The various types of mitotic aberrations such as fragments, bridges, laggards, micronuclei, early and late separations were scored in case of root meristem cells of treated materials. Taking the frequency of mitotic index for effectiveness of a mutagen concentration proved to be the most effective
