**2.27 High yielding**

These mutants showed superior yield attributes such as length and number of pods, number of seeds, 1000 seed weight and yield per plant as compared to control (Plate- 4). Auti (2005) stated that some unknown mechanism must be inducing the expression of yield controlling genes, which are responsible to increase the yield. Same may be the reason for getting high yielding mutants in horsegram. These mutants can break the constrains of low yield of horsegram, in rainfed agriculture.
