Dry seeds of Brassica napus were irradiated by 12C6+ ion beams with 30
90
and 180 Gy
and the mutagenic effects of M1 generation were investigated.In comparison to the control group
the irradiated seeds showed positive changes in emerged seedling rate
plant height and blooming rate
with obvious inhibitive effects on pollen vitality
1000-seed weight and seed oil content.The 30 Gy irradiation group outperformed the others in pods per plant and seed yield per plant.By means of RAPD method
the results showed specific bands
such as increasing bands
flawing bands and bands with different fluorescence intensity were observed in 13 primers selected.The variation rates under 30 Gy
90 Gy and 180 Gy 12C6+ irradiation were 22.1%
23.7% and 36.2%
respectively.The research is valuable to the application of 12C6+ heavy ion beam in improving Brassica napus breeding.
