esulting from “<strong>Gamma</strong> Room” experiment were analyzed by frequency<br />
distributions. Regarding to the ion-beams irradiated samples, 115 samples<br />
were analyzed using ‘FHIA-01’ as the st<strong>and</strong>ard.<br />
2. 1. 4. Factor of effectiveness<br />
A factor of effectiveness (FE) was calculated to compare the<br />
efficiency of the mutagens using the data obtained from phenologic <strong>and</strong><br />
phenotypic variations. The <strong>for</strong>mula to calculate the FE is a modified<br />
<strong>for</strong>mula by Walther (1969) cited by Bhagwat <strong>and</strong> Duncan (1998) described<br />
as follow:<br />

The statistical one-way analysis of variance by Tukey-Kramer<br />
(JMP, Version 5) was used to analyze data from gamma rays. For carbon<br />
ion-beams, the data were processed using the analysis of variance (General<br />
AOV/AOCV, analytical software Statistix <strong>for</strong> windows version 2.0),<br />
followed by Tukey analysis (P≦0.05). The radiosensitivity was evaluated<br />
as survival rate-lethal doses (LD50) <strong>for</strong> each. LD50 calculation using<br />
survival rates (%) were analyzed by exponential regression determined in<br />
the four cultivars. LD50 is a value to assess acute toxicity, which determines<br />
the amount of Gy necessary to kill half of the irradiated population.<br />
