Comparative mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency of gamma rays and sodium azide in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (l.) Walp.)
A study conducted in India during 2021–2022 demonstrated that combined treatments of gamma rays and sodium azide, particularly at 200 Gy + 0.02% SA, offer superior mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency for generating diverse and desirable genetic variability in cowpea compared to individual mutagens.
