Abstract
A total of 25 meiotic mutants were selected from 281 sterile mutants induced by the treatment of the fertilized egg cells of rice with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. Of these, 19 were desynaptic and asynaptic mutants. Other meiotic mutants showing vacuolation of cytoplasm, incomplete cytokinesis, arrest of meiosis and degeneration and fused meiocytes were also obtained. Each of these mutants was governed by a single recessive gene.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
