Description

Tolerance for salinity, agroindustrial efficiency, and resistance to diseases were appraised in a group of rice mutants obtained by means of mutation radioinduction, starting from the J-112 variety. Results show significant differences in the analyzed characteristics of radio mutants, and differences between those radio mutans and the donating variety. Radio mutants RM-12, RM-41, and RM-42, besides standing out for their high tolerance for salinity, boasted the highest agroindustrial efficiency and a good behaviour against the main plagues and diseases, which makes of them likely candidates for new varieties in the production from areas affected by salinity
