Study on toxicity mutation of crownvetch induced by radiation

  • 1. Academia Sinica, Yangling Shaanxi (China)

Description

The suckers of Germany crownvetch were irradiated by 60Co gamma-ray and fast neutron. The toxicity mutation frequency and genetic stability of crownvetch were studied. The various toxicity mutants were found in M1. Most of the toxicity mutants was unstable in M2. Stable mutant was very few (about 2.0-12.9%). Beta-nitropropionic acid in the low toxicity mutants selected was 31.7-39.8 mg/g, genetic characteristics of low toxicity mutants were stable in M3-M5
