Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect A 5 Gy dose stimulated tulip bulb germination and improved survival.
- Intervention effect Irradiation at 20 to 100 Gy significantly inhibited tulip seed germination and growth.
- Intervention effect Irradiation above 40 Gy significantly decreased tulip chlorophyll.
- Intervention effect Irradiation above 40 Gy significantly increased tulip malondialdehyde.
- Observation Three stigma variation types were observed in irradiated tulips.
- Observation Three flower pattern variation types were observed in irradiated tulips.
- Observation Four flower colour variation types were observed in irradiated tulips.
- Association Increasing irradiation from 5 to 100 Gy continuously decreased tulip anthocyanin and flavonoid content.
- Intervention effect High irradiation altered tulip leaf stomatal micromorphology.
- Intervention effect At 80 Gy irradiation, tulip root apices showed abnormal chromosome division across mitotic phases.
- Association Increasing irradiation from 20 to 100 Gy increased the micronucleus rate.
- Method / resource ISSR analysis of suspected tulip genetic variation yielded 68% polymorphic bands.
- Recommendation The authors judged 80 Gy potentially appropriate to improve tulip mutation breeding efficiency.
