Abstract

⁶⁰Co-γ ray has been used to develop new varieties of cochineal. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of ⁶⁰Co-γ ray radiation on the reproduction of cochineal. Different doses of ⁶⁰Co-γ ray were used to treat cochineal and the ability of generating offspring was determined. The results showed that high dose of ⁶⁰Co-γ ray treatment dramatically reduced the ability of cochineal to produce offspring. F₁ generation of cochineal treated with high dose of ⁶⁰Co-γ (3000rad) only produced small number of F₂ generation and F₂ cochineal were no longer able to produce offspring. In contrast, low dose of ⁶⁰Co-γ ray treatment dramatically increased the number of female F₁, while the number of male F₁ was only slightly increased compared with those untreated cochineal. Under the dose of 500rad, the reproductive ability of F₂ generation was significantly increased, but the female body volume and the number of brooding eggs were relatively small. Under the dose of 1000rad, the female body volume and the number of brooding eggs were not significantly different from those untreated cochineal. The female body volume and the number of brooding eggs in F₃ generation were slightly higher than the control under both 500rad and 1000rad doses.
