SPARSELY CONTRA DENSELY IONIZING RADIATIONS AND THE ORIGIN OF ERECTOID MUTATIONS IN BARLEY

Abstract

WING to their characteristic phenotypes, their agricultural im-0 portance and the great number of corresponding loci the erectoides mutants in barley have attracted a wide interest in recent years. It is not our intention here to summarize all the analyses published. It will suffice to refer to the papers cited in the literature list. The chief characterisltics of the erectoid mutants are as follows:
