M1 chlorophyll chimeras induced by different mutagens and their M2 chlorophyll mutation yields in rice
- 1 Research Institute for Irrigation and Rice Cultivation, Szarvas, Hungary
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.
