Characterization of a Gamma Radiation (<sup>60</sup>Co) Induced Mutant Population of Prickly Pear Cactus (<i>Opuntia velutina</i> F.A.C. Weber) Plants In Vitro Using ISSR Molecular Markers

Characterization of a Gamma Radiation (<sup>60</sup>Co) Induced Mutant Population of Prickly Pear Cactus (<i>Opuntia velutina</i> F.A.C. Weber) Plants In Vitro Using ISSR Molecular Markers

The nopal cactus, a plant from the Cactaceae family, holds significant economic and nutritional value for Mexico. This study aimed to enhance the genetic diversity and morphological traits of <i>Opuntia velutina,</i> a species cultivated as a vegetable nopal. A total of 1050 in vitro <...
