The invention relates to a 12C<6+>
ion beam
radiation type breeding method for an
isatis tinctoria. The method comprises following steps of (1) selecting two kinds of parent materials according to a breeding objective, wherein one is a local
germplasm with the relatively strong
stress resistance, selected from local varieties, and the other is a breeding material selected from Anhui
isatis tinctoria
germplasm; (2) carrying out
reciprocal cross on the two kinds of parent materials, then screening and reserving seeds for planting; (3) soaking the seeds in
warm water, and then
drying or naturally
air drying, so as to obtain dried seeds; (4) soaking the dried full seeds, then
air drying water on the surfaces of the seeds, irradiating a sample by a 12C<6+>
ion beam, so as to obtain irradiated seeds; (5) planting the irradiated seeds in a field so as to obtain a first-generation group, carefully choosing 200 variation single plants according to the original parent; (6) continuously planting the variation single plants, harvesting, reserving seeds from second-generation single plants, continuously reserving seeds and breeding to obtain third-generations plants and fourth-generation plants; and (7) identifying and testing excellent
mutation strains. The method has the high efficiency and realizes the purposes of synchronous improvement of multiple characters such as yield, quality and
stress resistance within a short breeding period.
