The Changes in Seed Germination Capacity, Seedling Growth, and Leaf Morphology of Ficus variegata Blume Influenced by Gamma-Ray Irradiation

Gamma irradiation treatments have commonly been applied to induce variation in plant genetic improvement programs. The of nyawai (Ficus variegata Blume) is urgently needed mainly break the seed dormancy, increase seedling growth, and for selecting desired traits. This research aimed assess effect gamma doses on germination, leaf morphology Ficus variegate Blume. experiment's ranged from 5-240 Gy were seeds with varying levels vigor based artificial aging process. data displayed a positive relationship between low seed's endurance. Low doses, 5 30 Gy, are deemed capable promoting development, retention, diversity structure. higher than decreased number, survival. In addition, these also affect some morphological changes, including height length width.
