Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Gamma irradiation is a potent mutagen, but its effectiveness depends on precise dose calibration and cultivar-specific responses. This study assessed the radiosensitivity of two Ghanaian cowpea cultivars (Videza and Songotra) exposed to 60Co gamma radiation and determined the doses causing 50% reductions in germination, seedling survival, and seedling height. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dry seeds were...
