GAMMA RADIATION-INDUCED MITOTIC DELAY AND CHROMOSOME BREAKAGE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4272829
Observations are reported on chromosome aberrations induced by irradiation in the meristematic tissue of the primary root tip of the broad bean, Vicia faba. A method is described for determining mitotic delay in such populations. An investigation was also made on the effect of oxygen tension on the number of primary breaks followed by restitution and reunion. (C.H.)
