Abstract
Low doses of 131I (5-100 nCi) were applied to the inflorescence of Tradescantia clone 02 and the mutational events were observed in the stamen hair cells. A linear dose-effect relationship was obtained over this low dose range. Environmental conditions may cause fluctuation in mutation frequency.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
