Mutation induction in chrysanthemums by gamma-rays treatment of rooted cuttings

W. Guzowski, S. Muszyński

Abstract


Rooted cuttings of two Chrysanthemum hortorum cultivars, yellow flowered Luyona and purplish-red flowered Woking, were irradiated with following dosages of 60Co gamma-rays: 1.5; ,2.0; 2.5; 3.0 kR. Among the MV2 plants six clones from the cultivar Woking shoved mutational changes, and two of them were selected as possible new cultivars. No mutants were obtained from the cultivar Luyona.
