Radiosensitivity in plants I. Determination of LD-50 in cultivated plants (Preliminary report)
Dry dormant seeds of 43 species were exposed to various doses of gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source. The seeds were sown 5 to 10 days after irradiation. Radiosensitivity was determined on the basis of germination rate, survival rate of seedlings at one month, and the survival rate and growth of mature plants. Data are tabulated. (C.H.)
