Abstract
Mentik Wangi rice is a local variety that is quite popular with the people of Magelang. Mentik Wangi rice has a distinctive aroma and has a fluffier texture. The disadvantage of Mentik Wangi rice is the potential for lower production and the plants are too high. There is an effort done to overcome that problem were planted mutation through the utilization of gamma-ray irradiation. The aim of this research is to select M3 generation mutant rice resulting from 200 gray gamma-ray irradiation which has a short stems and has higher productivity and determine the performance of M3 generation mutant rice resulting from 200 gray gamma-ray irradiation. The observational data were analyzed descriptively and compared the performance of the Mentik Wangi M3 rice plants as a result of 200 gray gamma-ray irradiation with control plants through T-test analysis. The results showed that the performance of the M3 generation of Mentik Wangi rice was better than control plants, there were several strains with potential mutants traits based on the positive character of each individual. There are 24 Mentik Wangi M3 generation rice plants resulting from 200 gray gamma-ray irradiation plants which are selected based on short stem and have a high productivity.
