Abstract excerpt
The seed embryo of Arabidopsis thaliana, the favorite plant of up-to-date molecular developmental biology, represents a valuable model system for space radiation research with heavy ions. For several years, densely ionizing particles have been available for basic studies in nuclear physics and radiation biology through special accelerators as well as through space flight missions. Because of the great variability...
