>Hello all,
>
> I am planning on conducting a study of the influence of Chemical
mutagens
>on iris at school this January. I have received an AIS grant that covers
the
>cost of the Mutagen and for that I will report back with initial and then
final
>results. I had originally planned to use several different species of iris
>including modern Japanese, and Siberian, as well as versicolor, virginica
>pseudacorus, and setosa. Greg McCullough approached me with the idea of
>treating some bearded iris seeds, which I would love to do, but I don't
have the
>seeds.
> I was wondering if anyone out there has some seed that they could
spare,
>either bee pods on some modern hybrids (I know modern hybrids aren't very
>generous this way) or some intentional crosses that you perhaps don't have
room
>to grow out. I understand that it is a bit late in the season for you to
run
>outside and grab some, but if you happened to grab a few pods thinking they
>might come in handy for something, your assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
>
> Due to the nature of the mutagen's action (nucleotide deletions in the
DNA),
>many seeds will die before they germinate, so I need quite a few, ideally
about
>a thousand, but I can still run the trial with less. I can also use some
dwarf
>bearded seed if that is available from anyone. Please email me with ideas
or
>questions.... any questions...iris stuff beats studying anytime!!
>Thanks for your help,
