Radiation and genetical studies to estimate the number of embryonic initials taking part in the formation of the shoot meristem of Vicia ervilia and Lathyrus sativus
Abstract:Dry seeds of V. ervilia and L . sativus were irradiated with 60Co gamma rays . The M, plants were grown to maturity . During harvest, ten randomly selected plants were arbitrarily numbered (symbols P 1 to P 10) and the branches and the pod positions along each branch of each plant were numbered (symbols for branches, B 1 to B 4 and pod positions, pl to p 1 ) from the lowest to the topmost one . The seeds of each pod position were collected, threshed, counted and, the next year, sown separately . Mutants were i… 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.
