Abstract


. Investigations were carried out to study the effect of gamma ray using doses of l 0, 20, 30 and 40 KR, Sodium Azide
at 1.0 x 10-3 , 1.5 x 10-3 and 2.0 x 10-3 m level and Cyanno

Gudinin at 0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 M concentrations on two sorghum cultivars which were Tifton and Quna.
The effect of the applied mutagenic treatments on the vegetative morphological characteristics as fresh yield, dry yield, number of tellering, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area and downy mildew was studied. the relevant chemical constituents as crude protein, crude fiber, nitrogen free extract, ether extract and hydrocyanic acid content were analysed and presented. Meanwhile, the response of the applied treatments on the grain yield components and characteristics as time elapsed to
50 % flowering, plant height at heading stage, head weight/
plant, grain weight/ plant, 1000 kernel weight and shelling ratio were studied and presented. Also, superior plants for favourable characteristics were selected and described.
