Abstract:Tendergreen bean plants were grown from seeding to seed maturity under continuous exposure to HF gas at fairly uniform concentrations averaging 0.58, 2.1, 9.1, and 10.5 µg F/m3. Progeny of these plants and of comparable control plants were grown in a clean atmosphere to determine if subsequent generations were affected by HF treatment of the parents.

No effects of HF were found among the progeny of the plants grown at 0.58 µg F/m3. The F1 generation progeny of the other HF treated plants were less vigorous than control plant progeny, as shown by later emergence, smaller primary leaves, and slower stem growth. This probably was a consequence of the lower starch content of the seed of the HF treated plants. The primary leaves of some F1 progeny of the plants grown in the three highest HF treatments were severely stunted and distorted. This also may have been due to the low starch content of the seed, or perhaps it resulted from damage to the plumules in shriveled, distorted seed produced in these treatments.

Some of the early trifoliate leaves of many F1 generation progeny of the plants grown at 2.1 µg F/m3 and higher were abnormal in the separation and number of their leaflets. This abnormality apparently was heritable, for in the next (F2) generation it occurred most frequently among plants whose parents were abnormal. However, considerably fewer F3 generation plants had abnormal trifoliate leaves, indicating rapid reversal to the normal form.
