Radiosensitivity and Response to GA Treatment in the Sub-species of Oryza

Abstract

The response of a genotype to the external application of gibberellic acid (GA) is an index of the level of endogenous gibberellin content (Ecklund and Moore, 1968). Radio-sensitivity of a genotype depends upon the changes in endogenous levels of auxin and ascorbic acid (Sparrow and Christensen, 1953). To find out the differences in radio-sensitivity, if any, of the two sub-species of Oryza, and to correlate with their response to the external application of GA, an experiment was conducted in two varieties of paddy viz., Ss and Taichung-65 belonging to indica and 'ponlai' groups respectively.
