T usefulness of the aneuploid series in common wheat, Triticum aestivum L. emend Thell. ssp. vulgare, first established by Sears (17), has been widely recognized. The necessity of developing similar aneuploid series in the cultivated oats, Avena sativa L., also a hexaploid, has increasingly been expressed by several investigators (3, 6, 11, 16). Sadanaga (unpublished) initiated X-irradiation of the hexaploid oat variety 'Cherokee' in 1957 to produce monosomes. Six monosomes produced by Sadanaga were studied in various aspects. The immediate objective is the identification of the monosomes. In this paper, their breeding behavior , morphology, karyotype, and intercrosses will be reported.
