Clonal palms that were derived from callus cultures were repeatedly exposed to gamma rays of 5Gy (Grays) for three and five times during subculture intervals. Field observations and data recording were conducted four years after field planting. Preliminary results from palms derived from the callus cultures periodically irradiated for five times during subculture intervals recorded […]
