CHROMOSOME ABERRATIONS ARISING SPONTANEOUSLY AND INDUCED IN MEIOTIC CESS AT LOW LEVELS OF RADIATION IN TRADESCANTIA
Data are compared from an analysis of chromosome mutations arising spontaneously in Tradescantia paludosa and the frequency of micronuclei induced in meiotic cells of Tradescantia by doses of x radiation ranging from 0.3 to 6.0 r. It is suggested that the possibility of unexpectedly high meiotic sensitivity should be taken into account in setting standards for radiation tolerance for man, and panticularly for the human female where immature ova remain at rest in meiotic prophase.
