Abstract
Observation on the morphological effects or injuries and the identification of LD50 of the snap bean (Phaseolus vu/garis) and long bean (Vigna sesquipedalis) was done in this study. The seeds of these plants were treated with 0, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 800 Gy doses of gamma irradiation. The seeds treatment was done by Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research (MINT). The six treatments (30 seeds per treatment) were replicated three times and plants monitored using standard procedures. Increasing dose of gamma irradiation was accompanied by a corresponding decreased in the height, root length, oven-dry weight of root and shoot and survival of snap bean and long bean. It was also found that the LD increased with increasing dose. The other mutation changes obtained in this study were leaflet and chlorophyll mutation. Overall, gamma irradiation greatly induced morphological changes in snap bean and long bean plant.
