A New Technique for Culturing and Measuring Barley Seedlings

R. R. Myhill and C. F. Konzak1

A highly efficient space and labor saving technique for culturing barley seedlings is described. The seeds are planted at the top edge of 2'' x 3'' blotter "sandwiches". The bottom ends of the "sandwiches" are wedged in slots in polyethylene racks sitting in trays of water. The trays are placed in a small plastic growth chamber for uniform seedling growth. The seedling length is measured on a board covered with metric system graph paper. This technique has been successfully used for determining growth of seedlings from mutagen-treated barley seeds.

Key Words: blotter "sandwich" • mutagen-treated seeds • measuring board
