A COMPARISON OF THE FREQUENCY AND SPECTRUM OF MUTATIONS INDUCED BY GAMMA RAYS AND EMS IN WHEAT

Published on Oct 06, 2020 02:17 AM

THE primary objectives of mutation breeding are to enhance the mutation
frequency. to widen the mutation spectrum and to realize directed mutagenesis.
Since the discovery of radiation as a mutagenic agent, we have gained a vast
knowledge about its action during the past 30 years. The recent addition of
chemical mutagens opened up new vistas in mutation research. However,
the information available till now regarding the relative potency. with respect
to the spectrum and
