Discussion

Experiment reveals EMS outperforms gamma rays in inducing mutations in soybean, implying dose-dependent effects.

EMS showed higher mutagenic effectiveness compared to gamma rays, producing a wider spectrum of mutations.
Mutation frequency increased with higher concentrations of mutagens, particularly in soybean varieties Co(Soy)3 and JS-335.
The study assessed lethality and injury through chlorophyll viability and M2 progeny mutation frequency.
JS-335 exhibited the highest sensitivity to both EMS and gamma rays, indicating varying responses among soybean varieties.

Narmadha et al. (2015) studied this question.
