Studies on the Induction of Mutations in Rice by Ethylene Imine. : I. Modification of Ethylene Imine Sensitivity by Some Treatment Conditions and its Varietal Difference.

Abstract

This experiment was designed to obtain information on the biological effects of ethylene imine. The ethylene imine sensitivity was considerably modified by various treatment conditions such concentration, duration, temperature, oxygen content and post washing time. Marked varietal difference also was observed in ethylene imine sensitivity.
