Abstract

Seeds of cv. Restoler and Noor of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) were subjected to 0.5 to 50 krad 60Co gamma radiation (1 rad = 10 mGy) and grown to maturity in a greenhouse. Two low dosages, i.e., 1 krad in cv. Restoler and 3 krad in cv. Noor, caused statistically significant stimulation of vegetative growth and seed yield (both total number and weight). For cv. Noor, 3 krad also significantly stimulated the weight of an individual seed. Significant declines in the yield of mature seeds occurred only at critical dosages of > 10 to 20 krad.
