Botanica}, howpublished={online}, year={2013}, publisher={Biological Commission of the Polish Academy of Sciences – Cracow Branch}, abstract={The effects of gamma irradiation on the vernalization requirements, growth and development of winter wheat grown in a rainout shelter were studied during two successive growing seasons. Dry grains of winter wheat cv. Kobra were irradiated with 300 Gy radiation from a cobalt 60 gamma irradiator. Treated and control grains were pregerminated and subjected to vernalization for 0, 42 or 54 days. Morphological parameters of the plants developing from irradiated seeds (M1 generation) and the plants grown from the seeds produced by the irradiated plants (M2 generation) were measured in order to track the studied effects over two generations. Irradiation of dry grains slowed the growth and development of the plants regardless of the temperature treatment. The measured yield structure elements appeared to be lower for irradiated plants, but no clear effect of radiation on vernalization requirements was noted}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Effect of Ionizing Radiation on Vernalization, Growth and Development of Winter Wheat}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/81781/PDF/03_mysza.pdf}, doi={10.2478/abcsb-2013-0004}, keywords={Gamma irradiation, mutation induction, vernalization, growth, development, winter wheat}, }
