Enhancing growth rate of lettuce by mutating lettuce seeds with nuclear irradiation
To improve growth rate of hydroponics lettuce with CO2 aeration, lettuce seeds were mutated by nuclear irradiation (γ rays from 137Cs) and domesticated with high concentration of CO2. When lettuce seeds were mutated with 30 Gy dosage, wet weight of lettuce increased by 22.3% (to 52.24 g) on the 30th...
