Pollen irradiation and variability in plant breeding materials
نویسنده
چکیده
In a conventional breeding programme, all F1 plants, from homozygous self-fertilizing parents, are identically heterozygous. The F2 is produced, and the character combination selected for, is carried on further into daughter generations. In case the pollen was irradiated before pollination it would be investigated whether genetic changes had taken place which influence the variability in the progeny, for instance by partial homozygosity and/or partial parthenogenesis. In both cases genetic stabilisation might be enhanced.

Genetic variability and identification of markers associated with germination parameters in gamma-irradiation induced mutants of sunflower under water stress condition
The objectives of the present research were to evaluate the variability induced by gamma-irradiation among a population of M8 sunflower mutant lines and to identify molecular markers associated with different seed germination traits. Experiments were carried out under well watered and water-stressed conditions using a randomized blocks design, with three replications. The studied traits consist...
متن کاملTowards conservation and breeding of Ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi) by assessing ISSR, morphological traits and germination variability
Ajowan is one of the most important members of medicinal plants of the Apiaceae, consumed by humans. The aim of this study was to explore genetic variability of 20 ajowan populations by ISSR fingerprinting and evaluation of traits at germination. Out of the 30 ISSR primers, ten generated reproducible and polymorphic bands. A total of 93 bands were detected out of which 65 were polymorphic. High...

Self-incompatibility has been studied by using controlled pollination, pollen tube growth and PCR methods in the Iranian almond ‘Mamaei.’. Pollen tube growth and fruit set following self and cross-pollination treatments were evaluated. The percentage of initial and final fruit set was determined for each treatment at 30 and 60 days after controlled pollination. Pollen germination and pollen ...
متن کاملEffect of Gamma Irradiation on Morphological Traits of Three Varieties of Sesame Crop in M1 Generation (Sesamum Indicum L.)
The main objective for plant breeding is to increase genetic diversity. Mutation induction is a method to increase genetic diversity associated with selection, recombination, or a combination of these approaches in plant breeding. The present research was aimed to compare efficacy of different doses of Gamma rays (150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 Gy and zero dose control) on the sesame morphological ...
