Abstract

T he application of physical mutagens in tissue culture has been reported by several authors (Botino, 1975 and Skirvin 1978). There have been numerous investigations on the effect of ionizing radiation on callus tissue. The effect of ionizing radiation on callus tissue has been reported in different plant material (Rao and Narayanaswamy, 1975 and Werry and Stoffelsen, 1981). The evidence of low dose radiation treatment in callus cultures have been reported (Degani and Pickholz 1973; and Sharma et al., 1983). Effect of gamma radiation on growth and differentiation of another callus in Datura was reported (Jain et al ., 1984). Stimulatory effects of low doses of ionizing radiations, not only on growth but also on differentiation in cultured plant cells was demonstrated by several workers (Sharma et al., 1983).Kochbha and Spiegel-Roy (1978) demonstrated that by irradiation and addition of certain growth regulators like IAA to the medium the response of Citrus sinensis tissue culture was enhanced.
