Abstract
Seeds of barley, maize, mustard, and safflower were treated with various doses of x rays and thermal neutrons, and observations of height, survival, and pollen abnormalities were made on the plants resulting from these seeds. In most cases a close relationship was found to exist between the three criteria of irradiation effect and dose of x rays or thermal neutrons. However, it is necessary that care be used in selecting the age of plant at which height and survival data are taken. The results suggest that although the chromosomes of the four species may differ widely in sensitivity to radiation damage, within each type of radiation the four species appear very similar with respect to influence on plant height per chromosomal abnormality.
