Importance of work on mutation in plants[edit]

I heard of L.J. Stadler's work when I was a graduate student in genetics in the 1960s. At that time I was told that it paralleled the work of H.J. Muller on the effects of radiation on mutations. Muller proved this in the 1920s by elegant experiments in Drosophila, and got the Nobel Prize for that work. I was told that Stadler did the corresponding experiments in plants (corn) and proved that radiation could cause mutation in plants. He was also a mentor to many corn geneticists, including Herschel Roman and Barbara McClintock. So his work was one inch short of Nobel Prize caliber.

I may be biased, as I knew his son David Stadler, as we overlapped as faculty members in the University of Washington Department of Genetics for decades (and he was a hell of a nice guy). But someone should check out where Stadler fits in to the story of corn genetics in the U.S., and into the story of proving that radiation could induce mutations in plants as well as animals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felsenst (talk • contribs) 02:49, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
