Title: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOMATIC AND GENETIC RESPONSE OF TOMATO SEED AND POLLEN TO X-IRRADIATION USING "WATER PROTECTION" AND MUTATIONS AT SPECIFIC LOCI. Final Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4739173

Results are reported from studies on somatic and genetic effects of x radiation on tomato seed and pollen. The presence of some mechanism that affords protection or acts as a buffer against genetic injury was suggested when seeds were irradiated under partially hydrated conditions. The characteristics of radioinduced mutations are discussed. Data are included on the frequency and biochemical characteristics of mutations resulting from the irradiation of hydrated pollen. (C.H.)
