COMPARISON OF VARIABILITY IN INBRED LINES AND MONOPLOID-DERIVED LINES OF MAIZE (Zea mays L.) Sherret S. Chase and Devender K. Nanda IN THEIR studies of variation in selfed progeny of doubled monoploid maize stocks in the S3 through S6 generations, Sprague, Russell, and Penny reported significant differences among means of subprogenies of the individual parental monoploids for several quantitative traits. These differences were interpreted as resulting from mutations, the frequency of which was 4.5 per attribute per 100 gametes tested. In 1963, Russell, Sprague, and Penny estimated the mutation rate as 2.8 per attribute studied per
