Creators

  • 1. Gama Research Centre, Yogyakarta (Indonesia)

Description

Corn seeds of Genjah kertas variety were irradiated with 60Co gamma in the range of 0 rad - 40.000 rads, at interval of 2000 rads, as preliminary investigation to obtain possibilities of corn mutation. Several agronomical effects of radiation on the seedling-plant such as seed germination, height of the seedling, ages of flowering, ages of harvesting, length and circle of the cob, 100U dry seeds weight, number and diameter of stomata, and percentage of downy mildew infection have been observed. The exact conclusion can be obtained only after testing the results of M2 and M3. (author)
