MACROMUTATIONS IN BARLEY-AN ANATOMICAL ANALYSIS

Published on

INDUCED macromutations of barley reveal changes m a variety of morphological traits. Remarkably, most of the mutations are pleiotropic, simply
inherited and appear not to be associated with chromosomal aberrations
(Wettstein, 1954). Although, the morphological characteristics of induced
mutations have been well documented, there is little information on an anatomical changes induced in the morphological mutants. In this paper, an attempt
has been made to analyze the nature of the anatomical differences in the culms
of several macromutants that are different in their morphology. In the present
analysis, at the level of tissues, it has been found that differences between
the mutants are of quantitative nature.
