Viable interspecific hybrids between Nicotiana repanda Willd. and N. tabacum L. are not possible by conventional hybridization but can be obtained by irradiation treatments of pollen or egg cells combined with in vitro culture of fertilized ovules. In this study cytological analyses were conducted to define chromosomal variation among viable interspecific hybrids obtained by irradiation-mediated techniques. Pollen of N. tabacum was subjected to gamma-ray irradiation dosages of 5–40 kR and used to fertilize N. repanda. Similarly, egg cells of N. repanda were treated with 1–4 kR irradiation and pollinated with N. tabacum. Chromosome number decreases in resulting interspecific hybrids were not as great as had been reported in previous studies, but exposure to higher doses of radiation induced a considerable degree of chromosomal rearrangement. Among resulting hybrids, a number reached the flowering stage. The longevity of the hybrids seemed to be correlated with their ability to generate roots (i.e., rooting vigor). Although the dosage ranges used in the egg-cell irradiation (1–4 kR) were lower than those used in the pollen irradiation (5–20 kR), the degree and quality of the chromosomal variation did not differ.Key words: wide hybridization, hybrid inviability, chromosome variation, tobacco.

Snake fruit (Salacca zalacca) is a unique fruit and it has decadent prospects to be developed as an export commodity. Nevertheless, oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel seems to decrease the quantity and quality of this fruit. On the other side, irradiation has been developed as a standard quarantine treatment to disinfest fruit fly on fruit. The objective of this research was to determine impact of irradiation by Cobalt-60 gamma-ray on the development and survivorship of eggs and the third instar of fruitfly larvae using in-vitro and in-vivo approaches and minimum dose of Cobalt-60 gamma rays applied for snake fruit. Six doses of gamma-ray, i.e. 0 (control), 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 Gy were used in this experiment. The results showed that Cobalt-60 disturbed development and survivor rate of B. dorsalis. The development of eggs into pupa was failed when treated with Cobalt-60 at any doses, while the third instar larvae failed to become adult when irradiated with 75, 100 and 150 Gy of gamma-ray. The impacts were increased with the increment of dose. Furthermore, impact of gamma-ray irradiation was greater on eggs compared to the third instar of larvae. The minimum dose of irradiation to prevent adults emerge was 118 Gy.

Radioadaptive response (RAR) describes a phenomenon in a variety of in vitro and in vivo systems that a low-dose of priming ionizing radiation (IR) reduces detrimental effects of a subsequent challenge IR at higher doses. Among in vivo investigations, studies using the mouse RAR model (Yonezawa Effect) showed that RAR could significantly extenuate high-dose IR-induced detrimental effects such as decrease of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells, acute radiation hematopoietic syndrome, genotoxicity and genomic instability. Meanwhile, it has been demonstrated that diet intervention has a great impact on health, and dietary restriction shows beneficial effects on numerous diseases in animal models. In this work, by using the mouse RAR model and mild dietary restriction (MDR), we confirmed that combination of RAR and MDR could more efficiently reduce radiogenotoxic damage without significant change of the RAR phenotype. These findings suggested that MDR may share some common pathways with RAR to activate mechanisms consequently resulting in suppression of genotoxicity. As MDR could also increase resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy in normal cells, we propose that combination of MDR, RAR, and other cancer treatments (i.e., chemotherapy and radiotherapy) represent a potential strategy to increase the treatment efficacy and prevent IR risk in humans.

In this paper, we report a new phenomenon observed in the gamma-ray radiation-induced hydrophobic effects on an Invar surface: When the Invar alloy is subjected to different doses of gamma-ray irradiation, the contact angle increases with the radiation dose. Invar samples with exposed to a higher dose appear more hydrophobic, but this tendency disappears following post-irradiation etching. The contact angles of the irradiated and etched Invar samples can be restored back to a stable value with small deviation after 30 min of annealing at 150°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis found no crystalline structural changes. High resolution field emission scanning microscope (FE-SEM) analyses showed that irradiation might induce crack-like surfaces which could be removed at higher radiation dose in the following acid etchings. It is believed that the chemical bonds of Invar oxide on the surface were broken by the gamma-ray irradiation, thus raising the likelihood of binding with free ions in the air and resulting in the exclusion of the hydrophilic OH bonds, leaving a hydrophobic post-irradiation Invar surface.

Mutation techniques through gamma ray irradiation is useful to support breeding programs for genetic improvement of wheat. Genetic improvement on tolerance to high temperatures is necessary for development of wheat in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of radiosensitivity to be used as the basis for the induction of mutations by gamma ray irradiation on embryogenic callus to obtain putative mutants with high temperature tolerance. Explants used were embryogenic callus cultured on MS medium containing 30 g L-1 sukrosa, 2 g L-1 gelrite, 2 mg L-1 2.4D and 1 mg L-1 picloram. Culture incubated for 6 weeks with temperature 20±4 oC in the room culture. Five irradiation doses (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 Gy) were used in radiosensitivity testing. A factorial, completely randomized design was applied to the experiment. The first factor was selection temperature with three levels (25, 30 and 35 oC), and the second factor was doses of gamma ray iradiation with three levels (10, 20, and 30 Gy). The result showed that radiosensitivity levels varied among varieties, LD20: 7.79 to 18.96 Gy and LD50: 24.29-33.63 Gy. Selayar variety which has highest sensitivity value compared with Dewata and Nias. Increasing doses of iradiation and temperature decrease survival of embryogenic callus, number of embryos, and percentage of germinated plantlets. Based on in vitro selection using high temperature (25, 30, and 35 oC), the obtained 19 putative mutants were derived from embryos that appear on the surface of embryogenic callus survival after irradiation and high temperature selection.<br />Keywords: in vitro selection, putative mutant, radiosensitivity, somatic embryo

Effect of gamma irradiation [60Co] against Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock in vitro and in vivo. Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock is one of the most important pests on guava fruit. According to a quarantine regulation in export-import commodities, irradiation treatment is a suitable methods for eradicating infested organism, which is relatively safe for the environment. The aim of this research was to determine mortality doses and an effective dose of [60Co] gamma ray irradiation for the eradication purpose, and its implication on the survival of fruit fly B. carambolae. Two irradiation methods of in vitro dan in vivo were carried out, by exposing egg and 3rd instar larvae of B. carambolae obtained from the laboratory reared insect. Eleven doses of gamma ray irradiation of 0, 30, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 300, 450, and 600 Gy were applied, respectively. The level of 99% fruit fly mortality was estimated by the value of LD99 using probit analysis and the number of larvae, pupae and adult survival were evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the means compared by Tukey’s test, at 5% of significance level. These result showed that the effective lethal dose (LD99) of irradiation that could be successful to eradicate eggs and 3rd instar larvae in vitro were 2225 and 2343 Gy and in vivo were 3165 dan 3177 Gy, respectively. Almost all of the treated larvae survived and developed to pupae, therefore only the minimum irradiation dose of 30 Gy allowed the pupae to develop into adults.

In this study, the effect of film layer deposited on a metal surface by vacuum evaporation method on the RISA phenomenon was investigated from the view points of surface wettability and quenching velocity. Test rods were made of SUS304 with the outer diameter of 24mm and the length of 150mm. Four kinds of materials, i.e. titanium, zircaloy-II, germanium and silicon, were deposited separately on the half-circumference surface of a SUS304 rod with thickness of 200 nm. It was concluded that the RISA effect was observed on the film-coated surfaces after gamma-ray irradiation, which is similar to that on an oxide layer of SUS304 surface. It was also found that the quenching velocity on film-coated surfaces was much faster than that on an un-coated surface.

<p class="p1">High genetic variability’s are important factors in the development of new crop varieties. <em>In vitro </em>techniques are applicable for development of crop variability that is not found in the gene pool. One of the <em>in vitro </em>techniques that can be used for this purpose is the somaclonal variation technique. Somaclonal variation may be derived from genetic variations in explants and genetic variations in tissue cultures. Variations in the explant may be obtained from cell mutations or polysomic mutations of a certain tissue. Genetic variations in tissue culture may be caused by ploidy of chromosomes (endomitosis fusion), changes of chromosom structures (crossings), as well as changes of genes and cytoplasms. Changes of genetic characters may be improved if anorganic compound was added into the medium. To improve the plant tolerances to biotic or abiotic factors, selection components may also be added to the medium. Research results showed that somaclonal variation in tissue culture can improve genetic variations in plants. The variation produced in tissue culture provide chances to develop new plant genotipes. Many selection components, such as Gamma-ray irradiation, Al contents and low pH, pure toxin or filtrate, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and plant growth regulators can be used to improve somaclonal variations in many plants to produce new genotipes.</p>
