Investigation of the effect of 137Cs treatment on callus induction and plant regeneration anther culture in rice

  • 1. K. Malkov Institute of Introduction and Plant Resources, Sadovo (Bulgaria)

Description

Anthers at a single-nucleus stage of dihaploid L44 line have been treated with 1000, 2000 and 3000 R (137Cs). Irradiation has shown general inhibition effect on the induction of callus of the anthers inoculated. It is thought that the treatment effect is connected with the switching of the microspores from gametophytous to sporophytous type of development. The number of the albino regenerates increases along with the increase in irradiation dose. It could be explained by the mutation effect of 137Cs on the multiple genes controlling the pigment-protein complex. 2 tabs., 10 refs
