EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATIONS ON RICE PLANTS
Seeds of five varieties of Burmese rice were exposed to doses of 25 or 35 kr of x radiation. The seeds were sprouted after 3 to7 weeks. Data are tabulated on seed germination, seedling fatality, seedling height, number of panicles and grains, percentage of grain fertility, susceptibility to false smut, and date of heading. Applications of radiation in the production of useful mutations are discussed. (C.H.)
