Abstract: Increase of the mutation effect induced by EMS (ethyl metilsulfate) through post treatment by PYM was reported in this paper. The mutation frequency in the plant of M 2 generation, growing out of the seed soaked by EMS and then treated by PYM, was 8.9-19.2%. So the effect increased by 1.5-3.0 times in comparison with the treatment by single EMS (5.7%).

Key words: PYM, Mutagen, Genetic effect
