Mutagenic Effect of Sodium Azide in Barley

Mutagenic interactions in combined treatments of ethylmethane sulphonate,diethyl sulohate and sodium azide on barley

Mutagenic Effect of Sodium Azide on Seed Germination of Eruca sativa (L.)

Eruca sa t i v a is a very important crop of Madeterranean region, and highly used as salad 3 in European countries . Sodium azide (NaN ) is a chemic a l mutagen, and widely used in crops to 3 improve their yield and quality traits . W e s tudied the effect of various concentrations of NaN ranged (1mM , 2mM , 3 mM, 4 mM and 5 mM) on germination and seedling growth of Eruca at various time 3 int...

Mutagenic Effect of Ethyl Methane Sulphonate and Sodium Azide on Pod Characters in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

In the present investigation the different quantitative characters in M2 and M3 generations were studied to estimate the variability induced by mutagenic treatments. A through statistical analysis of the data on individual quantitative character was done to analyses the effect of mutations in shifting the mean and variance in either direction. The effect of chemical mutagens on pod characters, ...

Effect of sodium azide on radiation damage and photoreactivation.

During investigations on the role of bacterial pigments in ultraviolet irradiation damage and in photoreactivation, several agents were tested as suppressors of pigmentation effects. Chromobacterium violaceum is extremely radiosensitive in that it shows very high inactivation by ultraviolet and also high photorecovery with white light. Sodium azide depresses both of these effects significantly....

Mutagenic Effectiveness and Efficiency of Gamma Rays, Sodium Azide and Their Synergistic Effects in Urd Bean (Vigna mungo L.)

Mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency of gamma rays sodium azide and their combination treatments were studied in the genotype of urdben variety T9. The usefulness of any mutagen in plant breeding depends not only on its effectiveness but also upon its efficiency. Mutagenic effectiveness is a measure of the frequency of mutations induced by unit mutagen dose, whereas mutagenic efficiency is me...
