Abstract
Seeds of soyabean cultivar Cobb were X-irradiated with doses of 25 and 35 kR and 11 root nodulated M4 mutants were evaluated for 9 yield-related traits. The highest yielding mutants, P6 and P4, produced seed yields of 30 g/plant, followed by P11 and P18 at 26 g/plant, compared with the Cobb control which produced 17 g/plant. Mutants also gave improvements for pods/plant, seeds/pod, reproductive period, 100-seed weight and early maturity. The data indicated strain specificity of Rhizobium japonicum strains 1028 and HOB for almost all the yield components studied
