EFFECTS OF TREATING HYBRID SEEDS WITH r-RAY ON GENETIC VARIANCE AND SELECTION EFFECTIVENESS OF PROGENIES IN SOYBEAN——Ⅱ. GENETIC VARIANCE OF THIRD GENERATION AND LINE YIELD OF FOURTH AND FIVETH GENERATIONS
Habrid seeds from two crosses were treated bY using 10 Kr60Co γ-ray, and progenies of the two crosses were compared with that from same habr-id seed that were not treated to evaluate effectiveness of combinition in cross with γ-ray indution in soybean breeding. The experiment results indicated that characteristic variance was primarily controled by cross for progenies of combinition in cross with γ-ray treatment, even though progenies of combinition in cross with γ-ray induction had more extreme type and wider variance. Advanced generation lines for treatment of combinition in cross with γ-ray induction gave similar mean line yield and highest line yield, slightly late maturity and weaker resistance to lodging compared with cross treatment alone. Those showed that treating habrid seed with γ-ray should nat increase selection effectiveness.
