The biological effects of nitrogen ion implantation (25 keV; 3.2×1016; 3.9×1016 and 4.6×1016 ions/cm2) on rape M1 generation were studied. The results showed that the germination percent of seeds treated at N+ doses between 3.2×1016 and 4.6×1016 ions/cm2 was not significantly different from control. It was observed that the emergent seedling and survival seedling percent of treated seeds at the dose of 3.9×1016 ions/cm2 was increased. Some agronomic and yield characters
such as plant height
number of leaves
fresh weight per plant at seedling stage
number of leaves
perimeter of stem
length and width of the biggest leaf at flower stage
number of primary branches
number of silique per plant and seed yield per plant at mature stage
were improved and increased at N+ treatment zone. According to the statistical result
the mutation frequency was about 3.2% in the field.
