Summary In 1951, a line of the Austrian barley variety Vollkorn (a brewing barley widely grown in Lower Austria) was exposed to X-rays with a view to selecting mildew resistant mutants. Mildew infection was restricted to X2-ear progenies. In the X3-generation one mutant (indicated No. 3502/53) was found to be resistant to the mildew races A1, B, C, D, F and some other mutants showed a moderate resistance to the races A and B. Field trials proved that there was a correlation between the susceptibility to mildew and lodging. Mutant lines with high yields (127% of mother line) combined a good mildew resistance with a good resistance to lodging. The type of resistance induced and its interitance in various mutants is under investigation.
