  Gamma irradiation induces various physiological, biochemical alterations in plants with modulation of certain metabolic and defensive pathway. Pre-sowing seed irradiation is considered as an effective method of improving production, yield components and chemical composition in plants. In the present study Cajanus Cajan was subjected to gamma irradiation with absorbed doses 0 Gy, 30 Gy, 50 Gy, 100 Gy, 150 Gy and 200 Gy with a dose rate 2.08 Kilo Gray per hour (2.08 KGh-1). Cajanus cajan when exposed to variable doses of gamma radiation showed persistent changes in the growth and development under both in vivo & in vitro conditions. Radiation sensitivity test based on germination percentage of irradiated and non-irradiated seeds demonstrated that significant reduction in germination percentage was observed with increasing gamma dosage under both in vivo and in vitro conditions.
