Seed protein improvement by nuclear techniques1978
AbstractAbstract
[en] Gamma rays and chemical mutagens (sodium azide and ethyl methane sulphonate) were used separately to induce mutations in wheat, triticale and mungbean. An increased variation in yield and protein content, determined by dye-binding capacity and the micro-Kjeldahl method, was observed in the M3 and M4 generations as compared with controls. In fertilizer trials an increase in grain yield and protein percentage was found invariably in all the treatments given at different stages in split applications. The genetic diversity was observed in the collections from northern areas of Pakistan regarding the protein content and morphological and physiological characters. (author)
