Gamma radiation and silver nanoparticles: a novel combination for mutagenesis in cowpea and detection of genetic changes using ISSR markers

Abstract

The integration of gamma irradiation and AgNPs effectively induced beneficial variability in cowpea, enhancing key agronomic traits and generating detectable molecular polymorphism. The identified elite mutant lines and informative ISSR primers can serve as valuable resources for future breeding programs aimed at improving yield and stress resilience.
