“…variance and the presence of genotype-environment interactions would cause predicted gains from selection to be higher than the actual gains that could be realized. Hence, the estimates presented in table 1 represent maximum gains that might be expected. On the other hand, in a self-fertilized crop such as soybeans, the additive genetic variance is likely to be much greater in magnitude than the non-additive genetic variances, so the bias, if it exists, is likely to be small.…”

Synopsis Irradiation of seeds of Adams and Hawkeye soybeans with X‐rays and thermal neutrons significantly increased the genetic variability for yield, plant height, maturity, and seed size. The estimates of genetic variance in the irradiation treatments averaged five times as large as those in the controls, and the predicted genetic gains from selection indicated that an advance could be made within each population for all characters except plant height.

“…It is a well-known fact that ionizing radiations affect germination, plant growth, fertility, and time of anthesis (Í, 3, 6, 9) 2 , among other characters in the higher plants. Different sources of radiation may affect these factors in different manners (4,10).…”

Seed of pigeonpea variety Kaki were irradiated at Oak Ridge National Laboratories with different doses of gamma rays and neutrons. The effects of both sources of radiation were studied on seed germination, plant growth, and flowering date during the X1 generation, and plant height and number of days to flower on the X2 generation. The results indicate that both sources of radiation reduced seed germination, and plant height, and induced both earliness and lateness in number of days to flower during the X1 generation. Genetic variability for plant height and early- and late-flowering lines was increased considerably in the X2 generation in the radiated population. With the new source of germ plasm located it appears that pigeonpea varieties can now be selected with more desirable characteristics, thus permitting a considerable increase in production in Puerto Rico.
