Abstract
The mutation response of endosperm factors R, Pr, Su, and Sh to thermal-neutron dosage was studied. The data obtained were compared with those from similar experiments using X-rays and UV radiation. Individual differences in the mutational responses of the genetic factors were observed, but the similarity in the responses of these factors to three very different radiation studies was especially noteworthy.Keywords
