| Abstract: | A comparison of the mutagenic efficiency and effectiveness of ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) and ethylene oxide (EO) on two different genotypes of rice showed that the mutagenic efficiency sharply decreased with increase in the concentration of EO whereas the efficiency of EMS increased with an increase in the concentration. The effectiveness was inversely proportional to dose of EO whereas it varied little with an increased dose of EMS. |
