EFFECTS OF /cap beta/-RADIATION ON MERISTEMS

Journal Article · · Exptl. Cell Research

S>When a root meristem suffers heavy radiation damage by the incorporation of large amounts of tritiated thymidine into its nuclei it can form a new meristem from cells of its quiescent center. The presence of the quiescent center explains the survival of roots after severe irradiation. (auth)
