Gamma radiation affected these parameters at higher doses but at 0.5 kGy no significant change was observed. 0.5 kGy prouting was inhibited and microflora was reduced at this dose without affecting its nutritional and sensory qualities. So, it was proved to be the best optimized dose was 0.5kGy.

Heritability combined with genetic advance showed both additive gene action and intra- and inter allelic interactions in the expressions of the traits. Based on these findings, it is recommended that for improving leaf yield, growth traits which have significant positive effect on leaf yield, such as, TSL, longest shoot length and NB should be considered for mulberry breeding programme. The breeding programme is su...
