Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Neutron doses up to 900rad had no apparent effect on wheat germination.
- Association Wheat tiller number also declined with dose, but weakly.
- Association Wheat somatic mutation frequency rose almost linearly with neutron dosage.
- Intervention effect The neutron 324rad lot had somatic mutation rate 0.39, compared with 0.18 in the γ-ray 8600rad lot.
- Association Wheat fertility decreased markedly with increasing neutron dosage.
- Association Mutated wheat tillers had lower average fertility than nonmutated tillers of the same plant.
- Mechanism The authors infer most somatic mutations arise from chromosome aberrations.
- Association The number of mutated tillers per wheat plant roughly increased with dose.
