The three previous meetings were reported as follows: First: proceedings published in the International Rice Commission News- letter, Vol. XV, No. 1(1966). Second: report presented to the IRC Working Party meeting at Lake Charles, Louisiana, 18-30 July 1966 (unpublished report, document No. 66/4468, available on request from Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Atomic Energy in Food and Agriculture, IAEA, P.O. Box 590, A-1011, Vienna). Third: proceedings published by the IAEA as Technical Reports Series No. 86 under the title 'Rice breeding with induced mutations' . The fourth meeting was held at Oiso, Japan, on 12-14 August 1968. Co-operators from nine countries attended, together with scientists from five other countries, the International Rice Research Institute, the Rockefeller Foundation, the International Rice Commission, and the FAO and IAEA. In addition, a number of scientists from the host country were present. The purpose of the meeting was to present reports on research related to or carried out under the co-ordinated program in 1967/68, to review and co-ordinate research plans for 1968/69, and to draw up technical re- commendations for future work. With rice the staple diet of roughly half of mankind, the importance of this work, aimed at better-quality grain and higher yields, goes without saying.

ANDO Agricultural College, University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil Abstract MUTATION INDUCTION IN RICE BY RADIATION COMBINED WITH CHEMICAL PROTECTANTS AND MUTAGENS. Seeds of the rice variety "Dourado Precoce" were treated with different combi- nations of gamma rays, cysteine and EMS or gamma rays, cysteine and dES. Cysteine showed some protection against the effects of gamma radiation and combined gamma-ray + chemical treatments with regard to germination, seedling height and fertility. There are also indications of changes in the spectra of chlorophyll mutations. INTRODUCTION The previous report on mutation induction in rice [l] gives the results of experiments in which the seeds of the Brazilian rice variety "Dourado Precoce" were treated with different combinations of gamma rays, cysteine and ethylene oxide or gamma rays, cysteine and ethylene- imine. The highest chlorophyll mutation frequencies were obtained after the three-factor treatments with the highest radiation dose, cysteine and the respective chemical mutagen. This report deals with an experiment in which ethylmethane sulphonate (EMS) and diethyl sulphate (dES) were used as the chemical mutagens. The same rice variety was treated. Gamma irradiation was carried out in the reactor of the Atomic Energy Institute of Sao Paulo University at an approximate dose-rate of 1000 R/min, and chemical treatments were conducted immediately after irradiation at about 27°C without pH control. The concentration and treatment time of cysteine, was 0.001M for 24 h, of dES 0.03M for 3 h, and of EMS 1.5% for 8 h and 0.5% forTo h. Three panicles per plant were harvested in the sequence of flowering. 1. Gamma rays, cysteine and 1.5% EMS Table I shows the results of the combined effects of gamma radiation, cysteine and 1.5% EMS on the rice seeds. Two-year-old seeds were used in this experiment. The protective effect of cysteine against gamma radiation, as determined by germination, seedling height and fertility, was very obvious in aged seeds. In the three-factor treatment combi- nations, cysteine treatment increased germination but decreased fertility as compared with the two-factor treatment combinations of gamma rays and EMS. With regard to the chlorophyll mutation frequencies, it was difficult to draw any conclusions because of the shortage of panicles in some treatment combinations. 1 TABLE I.
