REVERSAL OF $gamma$-RAY-INDUCED DORMANCY OF POTATO TUBERS BY GIBBERELLIC ACID
Potatoes exposed to doses of 8000 or 12000 rads of gamma radiation sprouted after treatment with solutions of ginberellic acid. New buds appeared adjacent to those which had degenerated after radiation exposure. It was concluded that gamma irrsdiation impairs sn endogenous gibberellin-synthesizing mechanism in the potato and that the effects of this damsge can be counterbalanced by exogenous gibberellic acid.
