Research Notes : India : Recent advances in mutation-breeding research in soybean in India

In spite of high yielding ability of Birsa Soybean-1 for the plateau re-gion of Bihar, it has not become popular among the farmers because of its black seed-coat color. The seeds of Birsa Soybean-1 were irradiated with different doses of gamma rays at FCI Sindri, Bihar (India) in 1979. Proge-nies of a yellow-seeded 50 Kr. M-2 plant in M-3 gave very promising and inter-esting plant types (Prakash et al., 1984)

Systematic mutation breeding research in India was started at Ranchi Agricultural College, Kanke, Bihar, India, around 1971 by Haque and his co-workers. Choudhary (1972) studied induced polygenic variability in the R-II generation in the variety of \u27Sepaya Black\u27 of soybean. Choudhary (1972) reported that 10 Kr radiation treatment of gamma rays was effective in shifting the mean values in positive direction for various quantitative characters including seed yield
