GENETICS OF EMS INDUCED RECESSIVE TALL MUTATION IN RICE

Published on Oct 10, 2019 11:56 AM

A local variety, Japan Violet, treated with aqueous solution of EMS (0.750/0 - 12 h) after
presoakingin0.01% vitamin C solution for 12 h produced a monogenic recessive tall mutant
in M2, the inheritance of which was confirmed in M3 and in the progenies of the cross Japan
Violet X tall mutant. The feasibility of utilizing the tall mutant in hybrid rice breeding
programme is discussed.

Keywords: Recessive tall, rice, mutant, inheritance.
