Comparative Analysis of the Effect of Carbon- and Titanium-Ions Irradiation on Morpho-Anatomical and Biochemical Traits of <i>Dolichos melanophthalmus</i> DC. Seedlings Aimed to Space Exploration

The realization of manned missions for space exploration requires the development of Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSSs) to make human colonies self-sufficient in terms of resources. Indeed, in these systems, plants contribute to resource regeneration and food production. However, the culti...

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of high-LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation on seed germination and seedling development in eye bean. Dry seeds of <i>Dolichos melanophthalmus</i> DC. (eye bean) were irradiated with two doses (1 and 10 Gy) of C- and Ti-ions. Seedlings from irradiated seeds were compared with non-irradiated controls in terms of morpho-anatomical and biochemical traits. Results showed that the responses of eye bean plants to radiation are dose-specific and dependent on the type of ion. The information obtained from this study will be useful for evaluating the radio-resistance of eye bean seedlings, for their possible cultivation and utilization as food supplement in space environments.Veronica De MiccoSara De FrancescoChiara AmitranoCarmen ArenaMDPI AGarticlebioregenerative life support systems (BLSSs)heavy ionsionizing radiationmorpho-anatomical traitsplant radio-resistancespace explorationBotanyQK1-989ENPlants, Vol 10, Iss 2272, p 2272 (2021)
