Description

Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and peas (Pisum sativum) are important leguminous vegetable crops in Egypt. They are attacked by several diseases, especially rusts caused by Uromyces phaseoli and Uromyces pisi. These diseases are widespread in northern Egypt. A mutation induction programme has been initiated to obtain resistant mutants. As a first step, the effects of mutagens on the M1 generation have been studied using gamma rays and ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS). (author)
