Seed size selection from M3 mutant soybean offspring of Kipas Merah Bireun variety in Aceh province

Kipas Merah Bireun is one of the superior soybeans which was once widely cultivated in Regency, Aceh Province, used to be as a centre origin variety. The weaknesses variety are relatively small seed size (dry weight 12 g/100 seeds), long harvest period and less resistance drought stress. Therefore it necessary improve quality order get with better properties, way use mutation techniques. objectives study reported here were evaluate genetic variability for single plant selection large mutants gamma irradiated population. research successfully selected 41 lines soybean mutant both high per size. Several promising investigated developed further accordance attempts increase productivity province. Therefore, needed see how growth production seeds this various locations planting seasons.
