Effect of gamma radiation on in vitro morphogenesis, anatomy and DNA polymorphism of Moringa concanensis Nimmo

Abstract The current study explores the impact of gamma radiation on the in vitro morphogenesis of Moringa concanensis. In vitro regenerated shoots were exposed to 133Barium and 57Cobalt gamma radiation sources for varying lengths of time (3, 6, 9, and 15 min). All the treated shoots survived with 100% regeneration frequency. The number of regenerated shoots was increased to 4.33 ± 1.57/inoculum in cobalt radiation-treated shoots. The field survival rate was increased, and 70% of plantlets from gamma radiation-treated shoots
