Contribution of morpho-physiological traits on yield of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik).

Experiments were performed under sub-tropical condition (24°8´ N 90°0´ E) with five promising lentil mutants, LM-149, LM-417, LM-504, LM-507, LM-1018 and a check, L-5 to evaluate some morpho-physiological features and its impact on seed yield. The growth rate was very slow during the vegetative phas...
