Seeds were given individual and combined treatments of gamma rays (5 kR), ethyl methanesulphonate (0.25% and 0.50% for 6 h each) and hydrazine (0.25% and 0.50% for 6 h each). The chlorophyll mutation frequency in the M2 was highest for xantha and lowest for striata, and more mutations were caused by chemicals than by gamma rays. The chlorophyll content of the mutants was in the following decreasing order: viridoalba > chlorina > xanthoalba > striata > viridis > alboxantha > xantha > albino.
