Özet

The effects of radiation on the shoot and root lengths of germinated seedling of irradiated seeds of Cicer species, i.e. three kabuli types and four desi types of cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum Ladiz.) and 2 annual wild types (C. reticulaturn Ladiz. and C. bijugum K.H. Rech.) were investigated. The seeds were irradiated with a Co-60 gamma source using 0, 200, 300 and 400 Gy doses at 1.66 kGy h(-1). At 200 Gy minor effects could be observed, but at 400 Gy an obvious depression of shoot length was observed. The kabuli types were more affected than the desi ones. The critical dose that prevented the shoot and root elongation varied among species and also ranged from genotypes to genotype within species. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
