Plant Irradiation
Photon

- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S003375606280091X
- Plants with low chromosome numbers and large nuclear volumes more sensitive, while polypoids and plants with high chromosome number resistant. 500-fold sensitivity
- Lethal dose for Pinus strobus ~600 r
Proton

- Cowpea legume irradiated to 100 Gy, 200 Gy, 300 Gy, 400 Gy and 500 Gy of Cobalt gamma rays and proton 57 MeV

- Lethal Dose 50 ~200-300 Gy for both proton and photon.
- Antioxidant enzymes reacted to proton beams more, chlorophyll responded more to photons

- Barley seeds irradiated with proton 3 Gy and 5 Gy, then grown in presence of NaCl (100 mM and 200 mM)
- Proton 3 Gy irradiation can alleviate harmful effects of 100 mM NaCl salinity

- Brassica rapa (turnip, bok choy) irradiated with 1-3 MeV proton ions
- Outcome: Germination varied based on incident ion energy and dose; decreased with increasing dose for ions that could penetrate the seed coat (>1 MeV). Hydrated seeds more sensitive to radiation than dry seeds. Damage to the seed coat led to faster germination and initial seedling growth
- Chonnam National University, Korea
- Proton 57 MeV irradiation to doses 50 - 400 Gy to evaluate mutagenesis

- Germination rates >95%; survival rates reduced >300 Gy; plant height, fresh weight of shoots/roots reduced >100 Gy
- Optimal dosage for proton mutation breeding between 250 - 300 Gy

- Proton beams induce plant membrane damage and oxidative stress, and reduce chlorophyll content

- Arabidopsis seeds, dry or hydrated. Irradiated with 1.1 MeV, 2.6 MeV, or 6.5 MeV protons
- Outcome: Survival reduced with increasing dose. Hydrated seeds more sensitive. Shoot apical meristem malformation observed after all proton irradiations
- Conclusion: Radiation induced damage produced at different ranges; hydrated seeds more sensitive
Carbon

Epub 2019 Nov 18.)
- Arabidopsis irradiated with photons (LET 0.2 kev/um) and carbon (LET 50 kev/um)
- Outcome: Carbon introduced higher polymorphism than photon
- Conclusion: Both carbon and photon induce genetic polymorphisms, but carbon mutation breeding is more advantageous than photons
- Kobe University, Japan, 2013 PMID 23728320 -- "Mutational effects of γ-rays and carbon ion beams on Arabidopsis seedlings" (Yoshihara R, J Radiat Res. 2013 Nov 1;54(6):1050-6. doi: 10.1093/jrr/rrt074. Epub 2013 May 31.)
- Arabidopsis seedlings irradiated with photon and 320 MeV carbon ions.
- Outcome: Mutant base substitution frequency increased after photon but not carbon.
