; ;
Radiation-induced morphological mutations in the dururn wheat variety Cappelli are described. Fifty-two mutations for single morphological characters were gathered. They appeared as single mutations per R/sub 1/ seed or as two ard three contemporary independent mutations per R/sub 1/ seed. The mutations involved changes in the mode of tillering, leaf shape and size, wax cover, culm anatomy and morphology, and morphology of spike, glume, caryopsis. Of special interest are mutations for solid stem, fused-margin leaf, and defective endosperm. More than 2/3 of the mutations appeared in thermal neutron experiments. (auth)
