Abstract
Cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub] (2n = 2x = 14) is an
important leguminous vegetable. It belongs to order fabales and family Fabaceae. It is
commonly known as Guar. Although cluster bean is a minor crop but due to its better
and finer guar gum qualities it is considered as an important cash crop for industrial
gum production. Its tender pods are valuable source of protein and are used for
vegetable purpose, its plants are used for feed and fodder purpose. The experiment
was conducted to create genetic variation in cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba
(L.) Taub.] through induced mutations.
