Abstract
Traditional rice in the Mekong Delta is only able to flower after exposing to a short-day period due to its photoperiod sensitivity. Therefore, deflecting the photoperiod of these good quality, good adaptability and salinity tolerance seasonal rice varieties is an urgent requirement now, serving production in the saline affected areas in the Mekong Delta. This study was carried out with a traditional rice rice variety: “Nang Thom Cho Dao”, by treating 1,000 seeds at the germination stage at temperature of 500C during 5 minutes. The treated seeds were planted and selected mutant lines from generation M1 to M5 in the greenhouse in the condition alternative long- and short-day lighting time. The results showed that mutant frequency was 2‰, the particle length changed in compared to the original variety (increased by 0.1 to 0.2 mm). Two of mutant rice lines were selected, photoperiod-insensitive, with short duration (
