Abstract
Dry and dormant seeds of lentil (Lens culinaris Med.) var.T.36 were soaked separately in varying concentrations of EMS, NMU and DES. Study of meiosis in plants raised from these seeds revealed that a high frequency of translocations leading to multivalent associations involving varying number of chromosomes were induced in all the treatments. In case of all the three mutagens percentage of PMCs showing meiotic anamolies increased with the increase in concentration upto a certain level but decreased above it. The effects of mutagens in enhancing the chromosomal aberrations were in the order: NMU>EMS>DES
