Improvement of mungbean by X-ray irradiation
Description
Mungbeans are popular as food in Korea but in the past received little attention in agricultural research. Low yields, pod shattering and susceptibility to certain diseases appear as the main problems. Gene sources are insufficient, therefore an induced mutation project has been initiated. A productive local variety Kyungge no. 5, and a variety M-317 introduced from AVRDC (Taiwan) are used as experimental material. After appropriate radiosensitivity tests, seeds were irradiated with 30 and 40 kR X-rays. (author)
