USE OF IRRADIATIONS TO IMPROVE SEED YIELD AND NODULATION IN SOYBEAN VARIETY COBB
Main Article Content
Abstract
Two dosages of Xrays, 2S and 3S kR, were used to irradiate seeds of soybean variety Cobb. Eleven M4 mutants were identified whose roots nodulated and which yielded higher than control. The mutantsalsorevealed variation for pods/plant, seeds/pod, reproductive period, lOO-seed weight, and were early maturing. The mutant PIS outyielded the parent variety Cobb by 29.9%.
