I am not Jim-so forgive me for my response.

But why do you want irradiated seeds?  What do you expect from them?

I know that irradiation was a fad many years ago-but produced little of any 
thing worth while in any of the plant groups were it was utilized. Thus it is 
not done now with any constancy this is probably why you cannot find any one 
to give you information.  It is just is not happening.

Currently in plant studies a lot of work is being done in protoplast fusion 
and somatic hybridization plus the hot field of transformation using a gene 
gun.

If you have not yet posted your questions to the tissue culture list serve, 
they might be able to help you, I am sure that a number of the professors 
there have done diffrent irradiation experiments in the past.
