Abstract
A collection of lines based on reversions from the homeotic pleiotropic genetically unstable barley mutants tweaky spike (tw) was created and investigated for productivity, resistance to plant diseases, protein content and other traits. Results of multi-year investigations show that reversions tw right arrow Tw do not exactly return to wild type, and a high diversity of lines in all the test characters has been observed. Several revertants are of economic value
