EFFECTS OF ARTIFICIAL Sr$sup 90$ FALL-OUT ON PLANTS. II. RADIOBIOLOGICAL EFFECTS (in German)

The uptake and distr-ibution of artificial Sr/sup 90/ fall-out in Arabidopsis thaliana L. over several generations is reported. The radiobiological effects of the fall-out were clearly demonstrable at a concentration of l.5 x l0/sup -9/ c/m - d: stimulation of vegetative growth, retardation of blossom inception, anwd change in the number of leaf-gaps. These changes proved to be hereditary over several generations, even with no further application of fall-out. No singular- radiation mutants were found. At a rough estimate, the minimum dose which produces demonstrable effects is approximately 1 rad/generation. It is possible that the isotope transformation effect is also involved in the low-dose effect observed. (auth)
