Abstract
The influence of growth regulators (GA and IAA) on the genetic effects of sodium azide was studied. Treatments with growth regulators were administered either prior to or after the mutagen. Post-treatments were found to be more effective against mutagen-induced plant growth injury and gave a slightly higher frequency of mutations. M1 spike sterility however showed a rise following treatments with growth regulators.
