Difference in Stomatal Frequency in Leaves Of Mutant Lines and Its Inheritance in Rice

Abstract

Stomatal frequency is a character which can be easily and trans-handled in rice breeding. There were considerable differences in the stomatal frequency among the mutant lines . induced from a rice cultivar Kinmaze. A mutant line (CM 1290) which showed a high stomatal frequency was geneti cally analyzed. Two genes' were found to control high sto matal frequency.
