Abstract Gamma rays, Chemical mutagens (ethyl methane sulphonate) and their combination treatments were used for the induction of mutations in coriander to create variations. A total of 460 M3 progenies selected from four varieties of coriander were raised in augmented block designed with four checks. The data was recorded on various quantitative characters subjected to the variance analysis. There was substantial diversity for all traits under study, as evidenced by significant treatment differences at the genotypic and phenotypic levels. Among the different traits studied the difference between variance components were high in plant height followed by seeds per umbel, umbels, number of secondary branches per plant and days to 50% flowering. Among all characters studied yield per plant recorded maximum genotypic coefficient of variation followed by essential oil content. High heritability along with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for number of primary and secondary branches, number of umbels, umbellets per umbel, number of seeds per umbel, yield per plant and essential oil. High heritability with low genetic advance was observed for number of leaves, days to flowering and days to maturity.
Keywords Mutation, coriander, M3 generation, heritability, genotypic and phenotypic correlations.
