THE USE OF RADIATION TREATMENT METHODS TO STUDY RICE GENETICS AND IMPROVE VARIETIES USED IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. Final Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4705440
Seeds from 51 varieties of wild and cultivated rice collected in Southeast Asia and Africa were exposed to x radiation, gamma radiation, or chemical treatment. Plants from these seeds, and crosses of the plants, were analyzed through 6 generations for characteristics indicating improved varieties, resistance to diseases, and resistance to drought. Results were analyzed statistically. Data are tabulated. (C.H.)
