Gamma radiation and silver nanoparticles: a novel combination for mutagenesis in cowpea and detection of genetic changes using ISSR markers

Key Points

This research aims to explore the effects of gamma radiation and silver nanoparticles on mutagenesis in cowpea.
Used gamma radiation and silver nanoparticles to induce mutations in cowpea.
Employed ISSR markers to assess genetic changes and molecular polymorphism.
Identified elite mutant lines with enhanced traits for potential breeding.
Induced beneficial variability in agronomic traits of cowpea.
Generated detectable molecular polymorphism using ISSR markers.
Identified resources for improving yield and stress resilience in breeding programs.

Abstract

The integration of gamma irradiation and AgNPs effectively induced beneficial variability in cowpea, enhancing key agronomic traits and generating detectable molecular polymorphism. The identified elite mutant lines and informative ISSR primers can serve as valuable resources for future breeding programs aimed at improving yield and stress resilience.
