Abstract
Average mutation frequencies per locus per dose of mutagen — EMS, X-rays and fast neutrons — were estimated from 15 different loci of Arabidopsis thaliana. These loci related to clearly distinguishable phenotypic mutant groups, each affected by a limited number of loci. There were significant differences in mutation rate between individual loci. The proposition of a linear relationship between DNA content and mutation frequency per locus is rejected.
