Abstract:
Seeds of 5 flue-cured tobacco varieties were treated by
60Coγ radiation of 8 doses (300~1400 Gy), the results showed that, following with the increase of dose, the seed germination rate and germination potential of different varieties of tobacco continuously decreased, and the bud and root grew became more slowly. And the semi lethal dose of 5 varieties by radiation were respectively 470.2 Gy for ‘CB-1’, 514.3 Gy for ‘C2’, 504.2 Gy for ‘Yongding No.1’, 497.7 Gy for ‘K326’, and 449.1 Gy for ‘Honghuadajinyuan’, which could be used as the recommended dose of radiation.
