Evaluation of Agro-morphological and Pollen Parameters of M<sub>2</sub> Generation of <i>Capsicum annuum</i> Exposed to Fast Neutron Irradiation (FNI)
Abstract:Morphological and pollen parameter evaluation of M 2 generation of fast neutron irradiated capsicum annuum was carried out to assess the heritability of the useful traits observed in the M1 generation. Irradiated M 1 generation seeds at the Centre for Energy and Research Training (CERT), Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria using Fast Neutron Irradiation (FNI) from Americium-Beryllium source with flux 1.5x10 4 n.cm -2 s -1 at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes exposure periods were collected from the Department of Biolog… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
