Direct and indirect effect of gamma irradiation on the differentiation of tobacco tissue culture

Journal Article · · Radiat. Bot., v. 13, no. 6, pp. 381-383

Tobacco tissue culture (Nicotiana tabacum var. Wisconsin No. 38) when grown on Murashige and Skoog medium readily developed leafy buds in light but not in darkness. When gamma -irradiated over a range 0 to 5.0 Krad, the cultures differentiated in darkness too. Furthermore, the stimulus for differentiation in darkness could be transmitted to non-irradiated cultures by the irradiated medium. (auth)
