Abstract

A local variety, Japan Violet, treated with aqueous solution of EMS (0.750/0 - 12 h) after presoakingin 0.01%vitaminCsolution for 12 h produced a monogenic recessive tall mutant in M2, the inheritance of which was confirmed in M3 and in the progenies of the cross Japan Violet X tall mutant. The feasibility of utilizing the tall mutant in hybrid rice breeding programme is discussed.
