EFFECTS OF GAMMA RADIATION ON TOMATO SEEDS
Gamma radiation, tomato seeds.
The present paper deals with effects of gamma radiation in tomato seeds . Tomato is one of the most labor and cost intensive horticultural crop in the World. It is also one of the most consumed vegetable. Its high volume consumed guarantees the importance as supplier of potash, folic acid, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and E [1, 2] . Five treatments radiation doses were applied as follows: 0 (control); 10kr,15,kr,20kr 25kr and 30kr. Seed germination as well as green fruits number, harvested fruit number, fruit weight and total production were assessed to identify occurrence of stimulation. Tomato seeds and plants were handled as for usual tomato production in M U garden. Low doses of gamma radiation treatment in the seeds stimulate germination and substantially increase fruit number and total production up to 86% at 15 Kr dose. There are evidences that the use of low doses of gamma radiation can stimulate germination and plant production thus, showing hormetic effects.
