‘Hom Rangsi’ was the non-photoperiod aromatic mutant rice which derived from fast neutron radiation KDML 105. ‘Hom Rangsi’ seeds were cultured on MS solid medium without any supplemented for a week. And then, all explants were placed on MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium supplemented with 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 mg/L BA (benzyladenine) for multiple shoot induction. The optimal concentration of BA for induced multiple shoot induction of ‘Hom Rangsi’ line was MS + BA 25 mg/L, the highest number of shoots were 5.38 shoot/seed. The following experiment was done, irradiated ‘Hom Rangsi’ seeds with 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 Gy gamma ray which cultured on MS solid medium supplemented with 400 mg/L Al3+ pH 2.9 were selected for acid tolerance lines. After six weeks cultured, the survivals of irradiated plantlets were 86.32, 77.78, 58.95, 58.95, 21.87% and the height of irradiated plantlets were 8.4, 8.3, 6.7, 6.6, 6.1 cm respectively without any shoot budding. All survival plantlets were transferred to suitable MS + BA 25 mg/L medium which discovered from the first experiment for multiple shoot budding. After six weeks cultured, the maximum of 5.24 shoots/plantlet were found from 300 Gy irradiation significantly and followed by 400, 200, 0 and 100 Gy irradiation treatments which gave 4.55 and 4.41, 4.37 and 4.31 shoots/planlet respectively..
