Abstract:
Using only chemical and gamma ray treatments, ethyl methane sulphonate and gamma rays, the induction of mutation in cumin was conducted to cause mutational alterations in two cumin kinds. For the M₄ offspring of the cumin varieties, highly significant mean squares were seen. There was substantial diversity for all traits under study, as evidenced by significant treatment differences at the genotypic and phenotypic levels. For seed yield per plant, high heritability and high genetic advance were noted. Seed yield per plant was significant and positively correlated with umbels per plant, test weight, branches per plant, umbellets per umbel, and plant height at the genotypic level, according to an association analysis between seed yield per plant and the other nine quantitative characters. By looking at factors such seeds per umbel, test weight, branches per plant, and plant height, path coefficient analysis revealed a positive direct effect on seed yield per plant.
