Atomic gardening is a form of mutation breeding where plants are exposed to radioactive sources, typically cobalt-60,[1]in order to generate useful mutations.
One example is the resistance to verticillium wilt of the "Todd's Mitcham" cultivar of peppermint which was produced from a breeding and test program at Brookhaven National Laboratory from the mid-1950s.
