PROGRESS REPORT ON EFFECTS OF RADIATION ON PLANT METABOLISM , MAY 15, 1960 TO FEBRUARY 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4063015
Progress is reported in studies on the effects of ionizing and nonionizing radiations on plants. Datu are presented on reaction mechanisms involved in chlorophyll synthesis; physiological phenomena involved in red and far-red reactions; the rate of chlorophyll synthesis of dark-grown leaves at various stages of development; the interaction between x-ray-inducsd chromosome aberrations and the effects of far-red radiant energy in chromosomes; photomimetic responses in plants; protein synthesis associated with the formation of the complete photosynthetic system in plants; and the kinetics of leaf-disk expansion in photomorphogenic response.
