Description

Samples of 1500 seeds were irradiated with gamma rays 10-15 krad. In M2 generation, two semi-dwarf mutants ZB103 and ZC115 appeared of interest. When compared with their parent for two generations, a significant reduction in height was confirmed. Increases in spike length, stem diameter and number of kernels per spike were also statistically significant. But there were no significant differences in seed quality
