Growth, stomatal behavior, and photosynthetic pigment responses of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L) to different doses of gamma irradiation in M1V1 generation.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Induced mutation through physical mutagens, such as gamma irradiation is an effective and complementary breeding tool to enhance crop improvement by increasing genetic variation and creating heritable mutant alleles. This is highly important in crops such as sweetpotato, where genetic and reproductive constraints limit conventional improvements. This study was therefore designed to investigate the...
