Of the different putative macro-mutants that
could be isolated in the three genotypes in M2
generation, five (exserted stigma flower (50 Gy gamma
rays), dark green fruit (150 Gy gamma rays), dwarf
plant having pyriform fruit (200 Gy gamma rays) from
Patharkutchi; multiparous cyme (50 Gy gamma rays)
from EC620177 and viable chlorophyll deficient mutant
(0.10%EMS) from EC620176 hold immense promise
for their utilization in tomato breeding programme.
