EFFECT OF ULTRAVIOLET PRETREATMENT ON YIELD OF MUTATIONS BY X-RAYS IN WHEAT

Journal Article · · Science See Saiensu
A decrease in the yield of chromosomal aberrations in root meristems of wheat induced by four different doses of x rays has been found to occur when the seeds are pretreated with ultraviolet radiation. However, in X/sub 2/ generation, the mutation rate for combined treatment is lower than for x rays alone in lower dosages and higher than for x rays alone in higher dosages. (auth)
