 In: Joint FAO/IAEA Div. of Isotope and Radiation Applications of Atomic Energy for Food and Agricultural Development, Vienna (Austria). Semi-dwarf cereal mutants and their use in cross-breeding. Proceedings of a research co-ordination meeting organized by the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Isotope and Radiation Applications of Atomic Energy for Food and Agricultural Development and held in Vienna, 2-6 March 1981. Jul 1982. p. 25-37. (En)83-928697Summary: Large numbers of semi-dwarf (reduced height) mutants have been recovered over the 20 years we have been inducing mutations. Because of our need to emphasize practical breeding goals, few of the mutants have yet been subjected to genetic analyses. Efforts to modify and improve some of the mutant semi-dwarf plant types for use in breeding are continuing, as are experiments to induce new reduced height mutants in advanced breeding lines. Radiation induced mutant, Burt M 937 (CI 15076) carries a recessive reduced height gene disignated rht4. Gene rht4 is independent of Rht1 and Rht2 of spontaneous origin. EMS mutant Marfed 1 (CI 13988) carries a
