- This study was aimed at inducing mutation on three cultivars of Capsicum annuum L. to source for new favourable genetic variations that could be exploited for better agronomic and nutritional traits. Mutation was induced by exposing seeds of Shombo, Tatase and Nsukka yellow pepper to gamma irradiation with varied dosages (50, 100, 150 and 200 Gy from 60Co source) and evaluated in the Botanic Garden of the University of Nigeria.
