Description

The effect of radiation on variability was investigated in plants of five varieties of China aster, grown from seeds pretreated with various doses of gamma rays (generation M1) and in the progeny of these plants (generation M2). Both in generation M1 and M2 the frequency of occurrence of radiation induced changes varied. Most changed plants were noted after a dose of 9 kR in the M1 generation, and after 6-9 kR in the M2 generation. These doses were described in generation M1 at the stage of flowering in most of the tested varieties as LD50. (author)
