moment they are at the development stage. Sucker from the mother plant<br />
which showed drooping leaves also shows the same characteristic,<br />
compared with the normal growth showed by the others selected plants<br />
(Fig. 21). This characteristic, remarkable in the sucker, confirm that the<br />
putative traits are transmissible to the next generation. Taken together, gene<br />
has been expressed <strong>and</strong> highly heritance will occur in the progeny. The<br />
cultivar ‘FHIA-03’, tetraploid (AABB) showed also the same pattern of<br />
leaves showing attractiveness during its developing period having big<br />
bunches <strong>and</strong> high production (Reyes-Borja, 1995).<br />
3. 3. 7. Factor of effectiveness produced by gamma rays<br />
The factor of effectiveness was calculated using the amount of<br />
plants with variations (Table 6, 7, 8 <strong>and</strong> 9). ‘Cavendish Enano’, ‘Williams’<br />
<strong>and</strong> ‘Orito’ showed a factor of effectiveness of 7.49 in selected plants<br />
tolerant to juglone. Other useful characteristics such as low DNA content,<br />
dwarfism, sigmoid drooping leaf, fast growth sucker were also observed.<br />
Leaves abnormalities were most observed when the plants were subjected<br />
to long chronic irradiation period under greenhouse condition.<br />
