Sigatoka but also fruit quality, potential production <strong>and</strong> postharvest<br />

parameters as valuables components <strong>for</strong> final selections.<br />

4. 3. 2. 5. Relative DNA content<br />

When 115 samples were analyzed by using flow cytometer,<br />

hexaploid cells were found out. In ‘Cavendish Enano’ five plants were<br />

found when the ion beam dose was 4 Gy. In Cultivar ‘Williams’ just one<br />

plant was observed (Fig. 49). These results suggested that carbon ion-beam<br />

irradiation could produce a duplication of the chromosomes. Yu (2006) in<br />

the experiment with wheat mentioned that if a normal chromosome<br />

increased by a segment with the same sequence could be called duplication.<br />

The duplicated segment is linked to the original sequence, it is called<br />

t<strong>and</strong>em duplication; if the segment is linked in the reverse sequence, it is<br />

called a reverse duplication. The same author also reported that a large<br />

amount of chromosomal lagging can definitely induce change in the<br />

chromosome number <strong>and</strong> thus possible result in new idioplasms of<br />

aneuploid. Using N-ion implantation doses of D3 (3 x 10 16 ions/cm 2 ) <strong>and</strong><br />

D4 (4 x 10 16 ions/cm 2 ), monomers with the chromosomes number 41<br />

appeared in wheat ‘Premebi’. In ‘Rye AR1’ with dose D4, monomers with<br />

the numbers of chromosomes of 19 appeared, 15 of them being normal<br />

chromosomes <strong>and</strong> 4 as B chromosomes which were obviously a trisome.<br />

4. 3. 3. Factor of effectiveness produced by carbon ion-beams<br />

Factor of effectiveness (FE) of ‘Cavendish Enano’ <strong>and</strong><br />

‘Williams’ are showed in Tables 13 <strong>and</strong> 14. Plants showing good response<br />

to black Sigatoka were selected. Other useful characteristics such<br />

hexaploids plants <strong>and</strong> fast growth plantlet were also observed.<br />
