Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to obtain beneficial mutants of sweetpotato by radiation mutation technology, and enrich sweetpotato germplasm resources. In this experiment, the main sweetpotato variety ‘Shangshu 19’ was used as test material. The embryogenic suspension cells were irradiated with60Co γ ray and the irradiation doses was 80 Gy. After 6 weeks of irradiation, the surviving cells were transferred into MS solid medium containing 1.0 mg/L ABA to induce differentiation, and then transferred into MS medium to obtain 138 complete plants. Through investigating and determining the top leaf color, vein color, top leaf shape, leaf shape, top villi, potato shape, drying rate and soluble sugar content of the irradiated progenies, it was found that the top leaf color of one line (‘S19Y038’) changed, and the drying rate of three lines (‘S19Y116’, ‘S19Y215’and ‘S19Y219’) were increased significantly by 5.98%, 5.65% and 3.32%, respectively. The soluble sugar content of one strain (‘S19Y013’) was significantly increased by 17.81% compared with that of the control. These mutants with excellent characters could enrich the sweetpotato germplasm resources and have a good application prospect in breeding high-quality sweetpotato varieties.
