Abstract
Dihaploids of the potato variety Desiree were used to obtain preliminary information about the doses and dose rates most suitable for mutation breeding purposes. The sprouts that developed after irradiation were removed in succession and then planted separately in pots. A broad distinction of 3 successive groups of sprout production can be made. The low dose rate object (50 rad/min) demonstrated an increase in overall as well as in uniform mutation frequency in the successive groups, while the high dose rate group (1000 rad/min) showed a converse behaviour with regard to overall mutation frequency.
