Abstract

The need for crop breeding to cope with population growth and climate change is increasing. Securing various genetic resources would be essential for solving these near-future problems. However, securing genetic resources in pseudo-cereals, such as buckwheat, has been relatively neglected. Buckwheat is mainly consumed in Asia. In Republic of Korea, approximately 50 % of the consumption is self-sufficient. However, research on buckwheat breeding is limited, and artificial irradiation-related research on buckwheat is also lacking. When exposed to low-dose radiation, atypical in nature, the hormesis effect could be observed in crops.. This study describes the low-dose (10, 15, and 30 Gy) irradiation of buckwheat. As a result, the number of seeds harvested per plant decreased with the low-dose radiation treatment. However, the one-hundred- seed weight was the highest upon the 10 Gy treatment, showing weight gain compared to the control.This result could be used for increasing yield in buckwheat production.
