Abstract
The present investigation on Plantago ovata Forsk. was undertaken to
find out the variability induced by physical and chemical mutagens,
individually and in combinations for quantitative characters. The study was
carried out at Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Project Farm, A.A.U., Anand. Dry
dehusked seeds of variety G.I.2 was irradiated with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,
80, 90 and 100 kR doses of gamma rays. Half of irradiated seeds were again
treated with chemical mutagens, viz. EMS and MMS, at 0.2 percent and 0.4
percent concentrations each for 2 and 4 hour durations
