Studiul influenței razelor x asupra genotipurilor de soia

The analysis of the impact of X-rays on soybean plants revealed a negative correlation between radiation dose and survival rate. The optimal mutation induction doses are up to 200 Gy for the Laduța variety and Z3M10100 line, while for the Clavera variety, this dose is limited to 150 Gy. Each genotype demonstrated variability in response to X-rays, suggesting different levels of tolerance. The height of the plants significantly decreased with increasing radiation doses, highlighting adverse effects on development. Controls, with no exposure, showed 100% survival, thus emphasizing the need for caution in using radiation in breeding research.
