Abstract:The green globular bodies (GGB) of Asplenium nidus, Neocheiropteris palmatopedata(Baker)Christ and Pteris cretica were used for 60Co-γ rays irradiation. In the 1/2 MS modified medium supplemented with 0.2 mg·L-1 IBA, GGB were irradiated at the dose rate 1 Gy·min-1 of 60Co γ-rays. The results showed that the shooting rate was from 98% to 25% when GGB irradiated with 0 and 60 Gy in Asplenium nidus. The shooting rate was from 100% to 38% and 26% when GGB irradiated with 0 or 80 Gy in Neocheiropteris palmatopedata(Baker)Christ and Pteris cretica respectively. The suitable dosage of 60Co-γ rays were 60 to 80 Gy for shooting from GGB in pteridophyte. The result of SSR markers test demonstrated that the specific SSR markers were associated with the mutants, among which, SSR-23 and SSR-76 were suitable for identification for screening mutants in Asplenium nidus. In summary, the mutation technique of 60Co-γ rays irradiation has been established in GGB of pteridophyte.
