ACTION OF X RADIATION AND PEROXIDE ON BARLEY SEED AND SOME CRYPTOGAMS (in French)

Journal Article · · Radiobiol. Latina
OSTI ID:4215741
When dry barley seeds are irradiated with large doses of x radiation, a reversion of the curve of coleoptile heights is noticed. This reversion is caused by a cellular elongation increasing with the dose, as is also shown in experiments with algae, mosses, and ferns. The effects of hydration, latency time, temperature, and radioprotective substances on the radiosensitivity of the seed was studied. The cellular elongation increases with the dose except at extreme temperatures (--15 to 40 deg C) and on the incorporation of cystamine after irradiation. No other factors increase the cellular elongation. The effect of hydrogen peroxide is analogous to that of the x radiation, and, on this basis, a hypothesis is discussed. (tr-auth)
