Identification of Morphological Agronomic and Quality Characteristics of Hungarian Vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) Mutants

Abstract

Gamma-ray irradiation of seeds is an effective method for creating genetic variation in plant breeding. The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphological, agronomic, and quality characteristics of Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) mutant lines that were obtained through gamma radiation. The experiment was carried out in Gölbaşı-Ankara during the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons according to randomized complete block design with four replications, involving eleven mutant lines and two control cultivars. The mutant lines exhibited a range of outcomes, including both positive and negative effects. However, no significant alterations were observed in the quality characteristics. The TB1007 mutant line demonstrated superior yield and quality, whereas the TB1002 and TB1005 mutant lines only performed well in terms of yield. The highest dry yield were obtained from TB1007 and TB1002, with 425.0 and 419.3 kg da-1, respectively, followed by the cv. Tarm Beyazı-98 and TB1005 mutant, with 391.4 and 390.1 kg da-1, respectively, in 2019. The TB1007 mutant line had the highest amount of digestible protein, with a content of 16.4% in 2019 and 16.7% in 2020, averaging at 16.5%. These lines are suitable for breeding programmes, especially for future studies involving crosses.
