PENINGKATAN VARIABILITAS GENETIK ANGGREK BULAN ALAM Phalaenopsis amabilis (L.) Blume DENGAN IRRADIASI SINAR GAMMA Co-60

Abstract

Genetic variation in the natural moth orchid Phalaenopsis amabilis (L.) Blume can be improved by using gamma rays Co-60 irradiation. The objectives of this study were to determine the dose of gamma-ray irradiation to obtain pool of mutants of P. amabilis orchid and to determine the effect of irradiation on the level of DNA in P. amabilis. The research was carried out in 4 stage
