Abstract
Seeds of corn were subjected to 5 dosages of filtered X-rays of each of 5 wave lengths ranging from 0.12 to 0.6 A. The record of the growth of the planted seeds shows: The effects depend on the energy absorbed and not on [gamma]; the longer exposures produce temporary in-hibitive effects; and the opt. dose depends on the stage of the growth.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
