Abstract

Radiation ionization is one of the useful methods for mutation breeding of plants. In this study, γ-ray (Co-60) was used for generating morphological variations of Cymbidium Labell “Anna Belle”. The lethal doses of 50% samples (LD50) after 4 months cultivation were determined at 35.0Gy for protocorm like bodies (PLBs), 37.4Gy for in vitro shoot bubs and 70.1Gy for plantlets. PLBs were found as suitable samples for generation of variation of mentioned Cymbidium. The dose range from 20 to 50Gy was determined with a high ability of variation on C. Labell "Anna Belle". The highest frequency of variation was obtained about 3.82 x 10-3 at the dose of 30Gy. 157 in vitro variant plantlets were selected in M1V1 generation; among which , the variations were mainly found with 5 following types: removal of chlorophyll (8 plantlets), the leaves become shorter (64 plantlets), the leaves become longer (64 plantlets), increase of leaf number (11 plantlets) and the colour of pericardium was changed from green into violet (10 plantlets). Twenty one variant lines were selected in M1V2 generation.
