Figure 4. Variation among M3
-generation peanut plants in terms of plant height, branch number, and pod number
following radiation from a mixed high-energy particle field. a. Among the offspring of plant No. 65 (65-1) (in the
67 Gy group), one plant (on the right) produced only a few pods while another (in the middle) produced more pods
than the mutagenic parent (on the left). b. Among the offspring of plant No. 67 (67-1) (in the 67 Gy group), one
plant (on the far right) produced more branches, one plant (second from the right) was shorter, and another (second
from the left) produced more pods than the mutagenic parent (on the left).
