The effects of 10 and 100 kv x radiation on the root tip chromosomes of Vicia faba were compared. The number of chromosomal aberrations detectable at anaphase was higher for the 100 kv radiation for both the primary and secondary effects. This difference can be explained through the greater absorption of the 10 kv radiation by the root tips. The number of chromosomal fragments, but not the number of bridges, was higher in the 100 kv series. The number of bridges relative to the number of fragments was greater in the 10 kv treatments. Possible explanations of this difference are discussed. The different experiments showed a high variability in the effects of the radiation; this may be the result of uncontrolled environmental factors which affect the sensitivity of the chromosomes to x radiation.
