ABS>Two Nicotiana species and their species hybrid were subjected to varying dosages of gamma-irradiation for a period of two months. By the end of this period leaf abnormalities were evident in all dosages with the N. glauca parent, above 50 r per day in the hybrid and above 150 r per day in the N. langsdorffii parent. In general where leaf abnormalities occurred there was a concomitant increase in the free amino acid content of these leaves. Similarities, both morphological and physiological, to other organisms under stress conditions are discussed. (auth)
