Two effective mutagens,PYM and EMS were applied to inject young spikesduring at the early stage of meiosis prophase in barly. The rate of chromosome aberration of pollen mother cell, pollen fertility,setting percentage in M1 and character variation in M2 were studied. The results indicated that both the chromosomal aberration frequency and gene mutation frequency of M2 could be increassd significantly, by injecting the solution of PYM and EMS into young spikesduring at the early stage of prophase of meiosis, indicating this method being more effective than others. Based upon the results obtained, the author presumed that the early stage of prophase of meiosis be the optimal stage for mutation treatment. The injecting method , which was utilized first in this experiment, proved to be effective. It could compensate the mechnical injury caused by conventional dipping method ,and increase mutagenic effect. In addition, it is easier to conduct. The author considered that the injecting method is a recommendable one.
