Abstract
The pattern of recovery of root growth in Vicia faba after irradiation is discussed in terms of a theoretical model for the kinetics of the meristem population. On the basis of this model it is possible to deduce a dose response curve in respect of reproductive integrity for the meristematic cells from simple observations of root growth.Keywords
