Abstract:

The objectives are to explore the effects of different 60Co-γ-rays on the seedling rate and plant characteristics of Pinellia ternata callus and to determine the half lethal dose of radiation treating P. ternata. The P. ternate callus was irradiated with different doses of 60Co-γ-ray,and then the differentiation rate,seedling rate,mortality rate,plant growth and variation were analyzed and compared. The results showed that there was a negative correlation between the bud differentiation rate and radiation dose in the range of 0-30 Gy;the half lethal dose calculated by regression equation was 22.34 Gy;the plant height and tuber size of the partially regenerated plants after irradiation were lower than those of the control group,and the fresh weight of tuber,leaf type,location of bulbils,number of bulbils,chlorophyll content and esterase isozymes of the partially regenerated plants after irradiation presented non-directional variation. According to the morphological,physiological and biochemical indexes,13 mutant plants were selected. The mutation frequency was the highest under 25 Gy treatment,and 5 mutant plants were obtained,which was close to the half lethal dose and was the optimal radiation dose.

Key words: Pinellia ternate callus, 60Co-γ-ray, half lethal dose
