Title: PALLAS BARLEY, A VARIETY PRODUCED BY IONIZING RADIATION: ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR PLANT BREEDING AND EVOLUTION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4270077

Results are reported from plant breeding programs in which mutations induced in barley by irradiation resulted in the development of a variety with characteristics superior to the parents. Good results were also reported in the development of superior varieties of oil rape, white mustard, and pea plants. The usefulness of radiation-induced mutations in plant breeding programs is discussed. (C.H.)
