Abstract
The effect of gamma radiation on seed germination and seedling vigor of apaxtlecos chiles was studied. The factors studied were dose of irradiation to the seed with gamma rays with 60Co (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 Gy) and genotypes of apaxtleco chili (Chinese Ancho 1, Chinese Ancho 2 and Plain Ancho), in a completely randomized design, with three repetitions for germination (in the laboratory and greenhouse) and 10 for M1 seedling vigor (in the greenhouse). Irradiation with 100 and 300 Gy stimulated germination in the laboratory, but with 150 Gy it was reduced in the greenhouse. Seedling height decreased, except with 50 Gy. The size (diameter and length) of seedling stem increased with 0 to 150 Gy; and fresh weight with 0 to 50 Gy and 250 to 300 Gy. The number of leaves decreased with more than 250 Gy and their fresh weight increased with 50 and 300 Gy. There was greater root length with 50 and 100 Gy. The outstanding genotype was Ancho chino 1. The results provide information on the behavior of the seed and the vigor of the apaxtlecos chili seedling by 60Co gamma irradiation.
