Induced floral heteromorphism in Petunia hybrida

S. G. Kashikar, A. S. Khalatkar

Abstract


Floral heteromorphism induced in Petunia hybrida with several chemical mutagens and gamma-radiation is discussed. Potentials of these mutagens in inducing various forms are described. The effect of heteromorphism on flower production, pollen sterility and seed set besides cross and self compatibilities between different heteromorphic forms have also been reported.
