Title: Radiation Induced Chlorophyll Mutations in Rice
Abstract: Chlorophyll mutations comprising of albina, xantha, virescent and rara types like striata, chlorina and lutescent occurred in n2 gegeration after treatment of seeds with X-rays, P32 and S35, and in M3 generation after chronic gamma irradiation of plants of three varieties of winter rice. Within the range of dosages applied, the mutation rate in general increased with increase in radiation dosages excepting in P32 and S35 when dosages above 8 ^c/seed produced a decline in mutation rate. A comparison of the mutagenic effects of X-rays, P32and S35 revealed that P32 and S35 were more mutagenic than X-rays. Again, P3S was found to be more mutagenic than S35.
