Studies, on Mutation Breeding in Barley and Wheat Plants. : II. Breeding of a New Variety and Desirable Short-culm Strains in Wheat by Gamma-ray lrradiations.

Abstract

Many short-culm mutants superior in lodging resistance and plant-type were induced by radiation treatment, but they tended to be accompanied by some undesirable agronomic characteristics. One of the mutants was excellent in ripening date, lodging resistance, yielding capacity, milling quality and plant-type, and was released as a new recommended variety.
