Inheritance of androgenesis response in pepper.

Background: Anther culture has become an important part of pepper breeding. Response to haploidy via androgenesis is highly genotype-specific. However, studies on the inheritance of response to anther culture are lacking.

Determination of the effective radiation dose for mutation breeding in purple carrot (Daucus carota L.) and possible variations formed.

Background: Plant breeding allows altering the genetic structure of plants to meet human needs. The use of radiation technology for inducing mutations and -thereby- new phenotypic variants has become increasingly common as a tool for developing new crops. The aim of this study was to determine the effective gamma irradiation dose for inducing mutations in purple carrot.
