Determination of optimal gamma radiation dose for mutation breeding in 'Sabz' fig (Ficus carica L.) cuttings based on radiosensitivity and phenotypic changes.

Abstract excerpt

The dried fig cv. Sabz of Iran, distinguishes out among the several fig cultivars for its unique characteristics and excellent properties. The aims to this study were 1) Carefully monitoring the resulting phenotypic changes in growth patterns, leaf morphology, shoot traits, root characteristics, and other relevant traits after irradiated with different gamma rays; 2) Investigating the LD25, 50, 75 and GR25, 50,...
