DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4102247· OSTI ID:4102247

S>Progress is reported in studies on the effect of spontaneous and induced mutations in the induction of quantitative genetic traits in plants. X radiation was used as the mutagenic agent when applied to seed or gametes. Preliminary data are presented for studies in wild tomato (Solanum pimpinellifolium), alfalfa (medicago sativa), and maize (Zea mays). Data are included from a study on the persistence of genetic variability under prolonged inbreeding in populations of the parasitic wasp, Habrobracon juglandis. A list is included of publications resulting from investigations carried out under this contract. (C.H.)
