The present study was carried out to induce morphological mutations in Capsicum annuum cultivar Longhi. Seeds subjected to different treatment levels of ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS). The treated and untreated plants were self-fertilized for two generations to observe different morphological characters in M3 generation. Several unique and interesting mutants were isolated in this investigation. These independent mutants have different phenotypes from control. The most distinct mutants included tall, dwarf, sterile, early maturing and late maturing. The change in leaf area, leaf arrangement, shape of leaves, pattern of branching and symmetry of flower was also observed.
