Black rice is a local rice originating from East Pasaman which has a low yield potential, long panicles, too high of longevity and plant height and soeasily fall. To reduce plant height has been irradiated rice seedsas much as 200 grams of black rice with a dose of 200 Gy of gamma rays. This study aimed to obtain information about the frequency of mutant semi-dwarf/dwarf and segregation patterns in mutant alleles black rice as the genetic improvement of West Sumatra local rice through mutation induction. From the selection of the M2 generation gained 31 candidates dwarf/semi dwarf mutant frequency of 0.062%. also obtained information that the segregation of alleles that make up the character ofthe semi dwarf/dwarf rodon rice mutant semi dwarf/dwarf trunked together with the distribution pattern of segregation according to Mendel's Law. On the character of the semi-dwarf/dwarf stem is influenced by one or two groups of alleles, where one of the alleles controlling the properties of semi-dwarf/dwarf stem, while the other controls the high stemproperties. Alleles from each group are in a locus that its chromosomes separate.It is evident that the semi-dwarf/dwarf on the mutant is occured due to one or more alleles is dominant on the high stem properties controlling alleles group toward the recessive.

Abstract-

Experiments to determine radiation dose effective for increasing wheat genetic diversity has been conducted from March to May 2015. Wheat seeds radiation was carried out at Research Center and PATIR BATAN, South Jakarta, followed by wheat growth screening at greenhouse of PATPKP UNAND at Alahan Panjang, Municipality of Solok, the Province of West Sumatra. Wheat genotypes of IS-Jarissa dan GURI 6 UNAND were subjected to gamma radiation as follow: 0.1; 0.2; 0.3; 0.4; 0.5; 0.6; 0.7; 0.8; 0.9; 1.0 kGy; and 0 kGy as control treatment. The wheat seeds were then grown in a mixture of soil and cow manure (3:1) w/w in a greenhouse. Data demonstrated that increasing the radiation doses resulted in decreasing in wheat growth. The effective doses of gamma radiation were 0.2 and 0.3 kGy. No wheat grown observed from the treatment groups of 0.5kGy gamma radiation and higher.
