Abstract: To investigate the influences of 60Coγ-rays irradiation on mutagenic effect of garlic(Allium sativum L.),with dormant white garlic and germinal purple garlic as test materials, using 0-40Gy 60Coγ-rays irradiation treatment, the effects of irradiation does on agronomic characters, leaf epidermis stomatal and cell morphology were studied. The results indicated that 20Gy does could completely inhabit germination of garlic. The radiation tolerance of dormant white garlic was stronger than germinal purple garlic, while agronomic traits were good performance under the same radiation does. In the following phenomena: plant dwarfed, pseudo-stem shortened, leaf number and leaf area declined, width and length of epidermal cells showed a trend of smaller with the increase of radiation does. Therefore, it could be concluded that germinal purple garlic was more sensitive to radiation, and the suitable dosage of irradiation for Allium sativum was less than 10 Gy.
