Natural hybridization in soybean varieties with and without ionlzing radiation was measured under field conditions in two widely separated geographical locations, Iowa and Maryland. The different soybean varieties used as pollendonor parents possessed dominant marker genes so that hybrids could be detected in the recessive female recipients. Natural crossing percentages occurring in the controls approximated 1.0% when the genotypes were grown in close contact. On the average, heavy dosages of approximately 2.0 x 10/sup 13/ thermal neutrons or 20,000 r x rays when applied to seed of only female recipients increased natural crossing 4 to 6 times as compared with controls. Within the dosage ranges of irradiation studied, x rays appeared to be just as effective as thermal neutron in causing hybridization. Incidence of natural crossing increased as dosage levels of x rays and thermal neutrons increased, whereas maturity was delayed and seed yield decreased progressively. In the Iowa test, flowers on the upper half of female recipient plants were cross-fertilized more than flowers on the lower half of these same plants with or without irradiation. Insect vector or vectors were believed to be the main reason for hybridization in these tests in both states. The results suggested that naturalmore » crossing in soybeans could be increased more than obtained herein with or without irradiation by better timing of flowering of pollen donors and recipients. The use of irradiation to induce hybridization and its role as a tool for greater genetic recombination in self-pollinated hybrid populations are discussed. The results suggested that if a true index of ionizing radiation-induced mutations is to be obtained, greater than normal precautlons must be taken to lsolate lrradiated material from outside pollen sources.
