Abstract
A common wheat variety has varying responses to irradiation. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of low doses of gamma rays on wheat grains by evaluating the growth, yield components, and biochemical aspects. The seeds of a common wheat variety (Anza) were irradiated with low doses of gamma rays (0.10, 0.15and 0.20 KGy), while non-irradiated seeds were used as a control. The experiment focused on the physiological, morphological, and biochemical aspects of irradiated and control wheat.Theresultsshowed that the highest stem height was in the control group, while the highest emergence rate was observed at 0.20 KGy. At this dose, there was also an improvement in the spike length, number of spikes/m2, number of grains/spike, 1000-grain weight, and grain yield. The water, protein, and starch content conformed to standards. The physiological aspects of common wheat were improved and the biochemical qualities were maintained throughout the use of low doses of gamma rays.
