Mutant Selection Short-stem of M2 Generation Mentik Wangi Rice Resulted from Irradiation with Gamma-ray.

Background And Objective: Mentik Wangi is local rice variety from Magelang, Central Java. This rice has superior properties, which is tender texture, has fragrant, but also has a long harvesting age and tall stems so that it easily collapses during heavy wind. The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of M2 mutants resulting from 150, 200 and 250 Gy gamma irradiation and to find out the plants to obtain short-stemmed, short-lived mutant plants with high productivity.
