Abstract

The possibility of using nitrosomethylurea (NMU) and nitrozoethylurea (NEU) in selection of currant and gooseberry was studied. It was found out that NEU solutions have higher mutability as compared to the NMU solutions. The 0.5% and 1% solutions of NMU and NEU are sublethal and lethal doses, respectively. A greater percentage of the development of the mutant forms with economically valuable traits was observed while processing the apical buds of plants with 0.005% solutions of NEU and 0.01% solutions of NMU with an exposure time of 12 hours.
