Applied mutagenesis and isolation of promising mutants in tomato and bitter gourd

Exposure of dry seeds to 50-150 Gy dose gamma irradiation was most efficient in inducing desirable macro-mutation in tomato which could be isolated on the basis of wide array of distinct, unique and stable characters viz., plant stature, leaf morphology, inflorescence type, floral morphology, pedicel character, fruit morphology and chlorophyll content of leaf and fruit.  Two mutants emerged as most promising for further use in breeding programme.

Multiparus cyme mutant of tomato: This mutant bearing high fruit number  was isolated from the M₂ population of the line bred variety of Bulgaria, Berika (EC-620177) irradiated by 50 Gy gamma radiation under DAE, BRNS, Bhabha  Atomic Research Centre, Govt. of India funded research project and subsequently characterized. It manifests an unique character “multiparous cyme” where the primary axis of the inflorescence “cyme” produce lateral branches with increased flower as well as fruit number per plant. Fruit are pyriform, three-loculed withjointless pedicel with indented blossom end. Fruits are suitable both for table and for processing purpose.[This mutant has been documented in the Research Compendium, Directorate of Research, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, 2020 (page No 170)]

Dark green fruit mutant of tomato: This mutant bearing high lycopene containing fruits was isolated from the M₂ population of the cultivar, Patharkutchi irradiated by 150 Gy gamma radiation under DAE, BRNS, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Govt. of India funded research project and subsequently characterized.  It is high chlorophyll containing mutant which produces dark green leaf (total chlorophyll content 318.52 mg/100 g fresh)as well as dark green fruit at unripe stage (total chlorophyll content 21.93 mg/100 g fresh) in sharp contrast to the parental line. Upon ripening, the fruits become dark red containing much high lycopene content (7.49 mg/100 g fresh) compared to 4.37 mg/100 g fresh in the fruits of the parental line.[This mutant has been documented in the Research Compendium, Directorate of Research, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, 2020 (page No 170)]

Gynoecious sex form and high nutritional quality mutants in bitter gourd: Among six putative macro mutants isolated from M₃ generation, we could identify two putative mutants, namely Meghna-2 with gynoecious sex form and BG-1346501 with high charantin, appreciable b-carotene and high ascorbic acid contents having ample promise for further utilization in bitter gourd breeding after critical testing in subsequent generations.

Breeding strategy for developing tomato rich in both lycopene and anthocyanin contents

The breeding strategy was to combine the lycopene enhancing  gene dg or hp-2^dgpresent in chromosome 1 and anthocyanin expressing gene, Aft present in chromosome 10 in one genotype  taking advantage of independent assortment in the ratio of 1: 15 in the F₂ population. This breeding scheme following conventional breeding method took only one crossing Alisa Craig Aft/Aft x BCT-115 dg/dgand two selfings to select the desirable double homozygous genotype AftAft dg/dgbased on morphological marker characters.

Purple tomato: This breeding line containing high lycopene, anthocyanin and ascorbic acid contents was developed through combining lycopene enhancing mutant gene, dg or hp-2^dg and anthocyanin synthesizing gene, Aft in desirable double homozygous genotype, AftAftdgdg under Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India funded research project.  The “Purple tomato” was selected based on morphological marker characters conditioned by two genes, dark green fruit of dgdg  and  purple colour for anthocyanin pigment of Aft- gene. This Novel breeding line contains both high lycopene (6.13 mg/100g fresh) and anthocyanin (20.73 mg/100g fresh) pigments in the fruits.

[This unique breeding line has been documented in the Research Compendium, Directorate of Research, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, 2020 (page No 173)]

Breeding method for developing non-viny vegetable cowpea utilizing different sub-species

This breeding strategy has been framed to combine erect habit, early maturity and determinate growth habit of the genotypes of the sub-sp. unguiculata or cylindrica with pod length, succulence and fleshiness of  the genotypes of the sub-sp. sesquipedalis to  develop relatively short, non-viny types with earliness, synchrony  in pod bearing and medium-long fleshy pods with appreciable  protein content in the pods and seeds.  Advancement of generations from highly heterotic inter sub-species  cross combinations (unguiculata × sesquipedalis or cylindrica ×  sesquipedalis) by modified backcross-pedigree method in that the F₁ was backcrossed once with sesquipedalis parent followed by subsequent pedigree selection up to seven generations to develop relatively short statured vegetable cowpea varieties with medium-long fleshy pods.

Unveiling the role of plant hormone in manifestation of genetically controlled parthenocarpy in tomato

Unpollinated ovaries of the pat-2 gene induced parthenocarpic line of tomato showed marked development with 2.78-fold higher gibberelic acid content at anthesis and 10.48-fold higher auxin content at 2–3 days before anthesis stage than the ovaries of the non-parthenocarpic line which triggered the precocious ovary development. Very low selfed and crossed seeds were produced in the fruits of this  genetic parthenocarpic line. Marked higher gibberelic acid and auxin concentration in the ovary leading to anticipated ovary growth and parthenocarpy might have resulted in impaired fertilization by either enhancing ovule abortion or reducing the pollen tube growth.

Genetic manipulation through induced mutagenesis and isolation of promising mutants in snake gourd and faba bean:

Snake gourd : Applied mutagenesis by gamma rays in Snake gourd spanned over five generations (M₁ to M₅) has yielded quite beneficial outcomes with respect to ‘fruit characters’ mainly and characterization of the desirable lines.  Three putative mutants with distinct fruits of less than 30 cm length, expectedly, monogenically controlled, were isolated. The desirable putative mutants have been advanced for further confirmation of stability from M₆ generation onwards, for their further use, as short fruited mutant varieties or to breed mutation derived short fruited varieties.

The Principal Component Analysis of snake gourd mutant lines showed that length of the main stem, days to 50 % flowering, length of fruit, average fruit weight, fruit yield per plant, number of seeds per fruit and ascorbic acid are the significant traits that interpret  about 39.491 % (PC1)of the total variation .

 Faba bean: Three experiments were conducted to determine the optimum doses of gamma radiation for different faba bean genotypes and find out the variation in optimum doses with respect to different times of sowing after irradiation and methods of irradiation. In Experiment I, seeds of five experimental genotypes were exposed to different doses (100 Gy to 800 Gy) of gamma radiation and were sown immediately after irradiation. In Experiment II, seeds of Bangla Gangachar and L-2013-060 were exposed to different doses (100 Gy to 800 Gy) of gamma radiation and were sown at seven sowings starting from 0 hr to 24 hr at 4 hours interval. In Experiment III, L-2013-092 genotype was exposed to different doses (100 Gy to 800 Gy) of gamma radiation with different methods of irradiation. In Experiment I, the LD₅₀ values ranged from 140 Gy to 669 Gy. In Experiment II, the values for LD₅₀ of the genotypes Bangla Gangachar and L-2013-060 were significantly singular for different time intervals of sowing.  Variation in LD50 doses were also observed in Experiment III. Every experimental genotype used in these three experiments showed dose dependent retardation of different seedling traits. These optimized doses may be employed to establish mutant populations for exploiting the novel traits of faba bean.
