Abstract
Colchicine treatments of 0.005% and 0.01% either in distilled water or in hydrogen peroxide 3% were caused temporary leaf shape changes on cowpea. Treatment of colchicine in hydrogen peroxide 3% resulted in green pod color change to purple however treatment of just hydrogen peroxide 3% and colchicine in hydrogen peroxide 3% caused 8.8-10.7% dwarf cowpea. As a preliminary data, we also observed that cowpea crops grown from seeds treated with colchicine in distillate water attacked by bean leaf beetle much earlier compare to the treatment with colchicine in hydrogen peroxide 3%.
Highlights
Mutagenesis have been applied in (Oladosu et al, 2016 ; Roychoduwry and various fields of research both for Tah, 2016). Parry et al, 2009 mentioned development of academic and applied about the important benefit of mutagenesis is purposes such as genetic modification using to increase flora biodiversity through creating mutagen in vivo or in vitro condition, novelty and superior crop cultivar

Summary
Mutagenesis have been applied in (Oladosu et al, 2016 ; Roychoduwry and various fields of research both for Tah, 2016). Parry et al, 2009 mentioned development of academic and applied about the important benefit of mutagenesis is purposes such as genetic modification using to increase flora biodiversity through creating mutagen in vivo or in vitro condition, novelty and superior crop cultivar. Parry et al, 2009 mentioned development of academic and applied about the important benefit of mutagenesis is purposes such as genetic modification using to increase flora biodiversity through creating mutagen in vivo or in vitro condition, novelty and superior crop cultivar. The random or targeted, molecular or non discovery of in vitro site-directed molecular to see cell-shaped changes, number mutagenesis technique doesn’t mean in vivo of chromosomes, and or decreasing or mutagenesis techniques are not needed increasing stomata numbers per leaf in the anymore as Chopra, (2005) mentioned that in aim to improve plant quality. Induced mutagenesis research started at the time colchicine was invented in year 1940 producing superior plant through chromosome doubling. In an effort to improve plant quality, beneficial mutation that produced through colchicine induced mutagenesis have generated quite a lot of new crop varieties that having better phenotypic characteristics
