Abstract
Barley, Hordeum vulgare, has long been used as a model system in higher plants for studying the effects of a great number of physical and chemical mutagens. The advantages of this organism for analysis of mutagen effects include the following: (1) it is a true diploid; (2) it is a strict self-fertilizer; (3) it is easily grown in a relatively small space; (4) it has a low number (2n = 14) of large chromosomes whose alterations can be readily detected under a light microscope; and (5) it has a number of loci whose mutants are easily scored.
