- Observation Variety V2 (Hyderabad single) showed the best performance for spike emergence, length of spikes and days to opening of first floret.
- Observation Variety V2 (Hyderabad single) showed the best performance for number of florets per spike, diameter of floret and length of floret.
- Observation Variety V1 (Calcutta single) showed poor performance for spike emergence, spike girth and days to opening of first florets.
- Observation Variety V1 (Calcutta single) showed poor performance for number of florets and length of floret.
- Intervention effect The 0.75 kR gamma dose (G2) produced the earliest spike emergence, at 101.57 days.
- Intervention effect The 2.25 kR gamma dose (G4) took the maximum number of days for spike emergence, 158.25 days.
- Intervention effect The 2.25 kR gamma dose (G4) took the maximum number of days to first floret opening, 183.80 days.
- Intervention effect In the variety by dose interaction, V1 at 2.25 kR showed the earliest spike emergence, at 75.80 days.
- Observation Variety V4 produced the maximum number of spikes, 2.53, in the untreated control group.
- Observation The overall mutation frequency in the irradiated tuberose was 2.67 %.
- Observation A total of 16 mutants were observed at 0.75-2.25 kR irradiation doses.
- Observation Five mutants were observed in Calcutta single.
- Observation Three mutants were observed in V2.
- Observation Three mutants were observed in V3.
- Observation Five mutants were observed in V4.
- Intervention effect A higher gamma dose of 3.0 kR was lethal, with no plant surviving at 50 days after planting.
