x, 130 leaves : 29 cm. Morphological and yield characterization of 918 M3 garlic putative mutants through the Allium spp. descriptor lists developed by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) were studied at the experimental area of Mariano Marcos State University’s Crop Research Laboratory, Tabug, City of Batac, Ilocos Norte. The study aimed to (1) morphologically characterize the garlic putative mutants using Allium spp. descriptor lists developed by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI); (2) describe the growth and yield characteristics of the garlic putative mutants; and (3) identify the relationship between bulb weight and growth and yield characteristics. The experimental design that was used in the study was Descriptive Research Design and Correlation Analysis. The results of the study showed variations in growth characteristics, yield characteristics, and bulb characteristics among M3 garlic putative mutants. GC-7-19-3 had the widest laminar width, while GC25-8-1 had the longest length. GC-4-4-8 had the widest equatorial diameter, the most number of outer cloves, and bulb weight. Bulb weight was significantly correlated with plant height and polar diameter, while equatorial diameter and number of outer cloves were positively correlated with bulb weight. The study found significant variability in growth potential among putative mutants, with GC4-4-8 showing the highest yield potential. Plant height, polar diameter, equatorial diameter, and number of outer cloves positively correlated with bulb weight aiding breeders in improving yield. Marie Jenina Q.
