Summary A method using ultraviolet light as a mutagen for moss cells in tissue culture is presented. This method allows for the selection of mutants in the green plant,Physcomitrella patens (Hedw.) BSG, by varying selection techniques to fit the mutants desired and for studying the effect of ultraviolet on a green plant system. The ease by which the system can be manipulated makes it attractive for research, classroom, or demonstration needs.
