A ‘Progressive’ Mutation induced in Poa pratensis L. by Ionizing Radiation
Plants resistant to stem rust resulted from the seed from Merion Kentucky bluegrass plants (Poa pratensis) exposed to thermal neutron radiation. Results indicate that when hybridizing is difficult, radiation may be an effective tool for introducing variation within the progeny of selected individuals.
