In plant breeding strategies induced
mutagenesis has become an effective way of supplementing the existing germplasm
and improving new varieties. Mutation can be induced by chemical and physical
mutagens or by combination. The commercial importance and production of
lettuce, which is the most popular of the local salad crops, is increasing in
Turkey. Lettuce is an important vegetable commodity and in demand by the local
markets throughout the year. This study was carried out to get database for mutation breeding studies
on lettuce cv. Cervantes. For this aim, 0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600
Gray (Gy) doses of Co⁶⁰ (gamma-rays) were treated on lettuce
seeds as a physical mutagen. 30 seeds were used for each dose. Thirty days
after treatment, germination and shoot developing of cloves were determined.
The Effective Mutagen Dose (EMD₅₀) calculated by linear regression
analyses. According to results, 372.66 Gy dose was found as EMD₅₀.
