Studies on mutagenic sensitivity of seeds of pummelo (Citrus maxima Merr.)

Mutation breeding is a key method of generating a large number of heritable variations. Effective dose (LD50) needs to be standardized for inducing sufficient variation in a crop. In the present study, seeds were irradiated with different doses of Gamma rays and found that 66.94 Gy could suppress ge...
