Abstract
Correction: Study on the Growth and the Photosynthetic Characteristics of Low Energy C<sup>+</sup>Ion Implantation on Peanut
Highlights
Low-energy ions exist widely in the natural world and are generated in the laboratory through acceleration, mass selection, transfer of energetic ions to a reaction chamber, and interaction with ion-target [1,2,3,4]
Nonghua 5 peanut is rich in protein and has a thin skin, so it is suitable for low energy C+ ion implantation
With the increase of the fluence, the biological harm caused by low energy C+ ion implantation to the seedlings resulted in a rapid reduction in their root lengths
Summary
Low-energy ions exist widely in the natural world and are generated in the laboratory through acceleration, mass selection, transfer of energetic ions to a reaction chamber, and interaction with ion-target [1,2,3,4]. Low-energy ions modify the genes of plants and microorganisms and have represented a novel and effective method for genetic modification in recent decades. There is no consensus on the lethality rate of different low-energy ions (C+, N+, Ar+ and H+) in breeding plants and microbes, it is clear that C+ induces a higher mutation rate and has been applied to breeding of rice, tomato, cotton, sweet potato, maize, wheat, buckwheat, rose, and carnations [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]. In the mid 1980 s, the biological effects in organisms induced by keV ions were recognized and demonstrated experimentally. The relationship between low-energy ions and the organism occurs at the physical and chemical level as well as biologically. The method has four advantages: (1) high variation rate; (2) wide genetic variation genealogy; (3) quick and stable variation; and (4) no radioactive contamination [16,17,18]
