Abstract:I. Introduction Since 1953, the author has been studying the cytogenetical effects on and the production of mutants in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) by using several ionizing radiations; some results obtained have already been reported (Kobayashi 1954-1958). The present study deals with the morphological changes as well as with the characteristics of mutants induced by radiation treatments. It is found that the type of morphological changes and the occurrence of mutants induced by radiation are closely related t… Show more
