${it Rumex obtusifolius}$ (Polygonaceae) highly accumulates soluble oxalate in leaves. Animals should restrict their intake of oxalate because high level of oxalate causes the poisoning. Therefore, ${it R. obtusifolius}$ well growing in the meadow is a target of weeding. In this study, we aimed to develop a low oxalate ${it R. obtusifolius}$ plant that can be used as a pasture by radiation breeding. Plants from seeds irradiated with several doses of $$gamma$$ rays were used to analyze the radiation effect on oxalate content and other metabolite profiles. As a result, the oxalate content in leaves was decreased by $$gamma$$-ray irradiation. Plants with low oxalate content commonly contained increased level of amino acids and reduced level of organic acids.
