Abstract
Northern Western Ghats consist some integral ranges well
Type known by “Satmala” These integral ranges runs across remote
area of Nashik as well as Jalgaon district. The Co-ordinates of
Oral Presentation
this Satmala ranges are (20 o 23’25” N latitude & 73 o
54’31” E longitude). This Satmala ranges have various habitats
like plateaus/rock outcrops, slopes, mountain picks, forts,
Track caves etc. Out of these plateaus/ rock outcrops are well known
Biodiversity for their monsoon, winter as well as summer diversity &
endemism. These plateaus were present in remote area of
Chandwad, Dindori, Deola & Nandgaon tehsils of Nashik
district. Various plant communities inhabited these special
habitats due to unique environmental factors like nutrient
availability, water availability, soil conditions, temperature,
humidity, moisture etc. But due to remote area & high
altitude i.e. more than 800 msl these special habitats were
ignored by Botanist. Therefore author’s conducted present
investigation to document distribution of plant species in
these various microhabitats. Voucher specimens were
collected and herbariums were prepared.

Abstract
Induced mutations are valuable for inferring gene function and for
developing novel germplasm for crop improvement. Present
investigation was conducted during rabi (winter) season at experimental
Type field, Department of Botany, Government Vidarbha Institute of Science
Oral Presentation and Humanities and in a farmer’s field in Kondeshwar, Amravati.
Chemical and Physical mutagens used to induce mutations in Linum
usitatissimum var. PKV NL – 260 were Sodium Azide (SA), Ethyl
Methane Sulphonate (EMS) and Gamma rays. Chlorophyll mutations and
Track morphological variations are the key aspect to identify mutations in
Cytogenetics & genes of interest within a mutagenized population. M 2 generation was
screened during morning hours (6.30am to 7.30am) for different
Plant Breeding cotyledon variations, chlorophyll mutation and morphological
variations. About nine different types of cotyledon variations have been
recorded including – reduced angle, fused cotyledon, folded cotyledon,
reduced cotyledon, incised or bifid cotyledon, sickle shaped cotyledon,
appressed corner cotyledon, single cotyledon and three cotyledons.
Three most prominent chlorophyll variations observed were – chlorina,
xantha and viridis. Sickle shaped cotyledon is the most frequent
cotyledon variation while occurrence of xantha is most regular and
lethal among different chlorophyll variation studied. Among the
morphological variation heart shaped primary leaf, curled leaf,appressed
leaf and condensed internode were observed. Ethyl Methane Sulphonate
was found to be most efficient mutagen in 18Hrs. dry seed treatment
with mutagenic efficiency 5.66% while highest mutagenic efficiency in
18Hrs. presoaked water + 6Hrs. treatment (3.83%) was shown by Sodium
azide. In gamma rays, 50 krad found to be most effective dose (0.021)
and having highest mutagenic efficiency (2.42). EMS found to induce
morphological and physiological changes more prominently as compared
to SA and gamma rays.
