Abstract
Radiation-induced mutants of groundnut cv. Spanish Improved showing distinct morphological differences and the parent were screened for RAPD variability. The analysis revealed characteristic band differences among the 12 mutants and the parent. The polymorphic RAPD bands were dominant in the F1 and segregated in a Mendelian fashion in the F2. The RAPD technique brought out greater genome variability than RFLP.
