Discussion

Induced mutagenesis improved lodging resistance and grain yield in littlemillet, suggesting new cultivation strategies.

Lodging resistance significantly increased with gamma ray treatment, improving overall grain yield.
Mean grain yield per plant reached 25% higher in treated varieties compared to controls, implying effective mutation.
Experiment employed randomized complete block design to compare gamma-treated littlemillet with control seeds.
Findings highlight potential of gamma rays in breeding programs to enhance desirable traits in littlemillet.

Raguchander et al. (2008) studied this question.
