Abstract:
Mutagenic action of sodium azide was investigated on two grain Sorghum varieties BD 569 and IS 2339. 16 h presoaking and 0.001 molar concentration were found to be most effective in inducing chlorophyll mutation spectrum at pH 3. Maximum frequency of M1 segregating panicles and M2 chlorophyll deficient seedlings were observed in IS 2339. Varietal differences are evident in their response to the mutagenic action of the chemical.
