Studies with gamma rays, fast neutrons, and EMS treatments in rice showed higher frequency of M1 chlorophyll chimeras in the EMS treatments, a correlation between the frequencies of M1 chlorophyll chimeras and M2 chlorophyll mutants, and a higher M2 mutation frequency in the progeny of chimerical M1 plants compared to those of normal-looking plants.
