Seed Set in Indiangrass, Sorghastrum mutans (L.) Nash, Estimated by X-Ray Photograph1

F. L. Barnett and Zia E. Rafii2

Estimates of seed set of indiangrass, Sorghastrum nutans (L.) Nash, were slightly higher with x-ray photography than with the rubbing-board method. However, the two methods agreed closely in relative seed set of different strains. The low x-ray dosage had no apparent effect on seed germination.

Key Words: Caryopsis • Floret • Germination • Spikelet • X-ray photography
