Abstract excerpt
The role of cosmic ionizing radiation, including heavy ions (HZE-particles) in the induction of mutations at the molecule-, chromosome-, genome- and cell-level is discussed on the basis of different DNA organization in a pro- and eukaryotically compartmented plant system (Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.). Data recently obtained on the biological effects of ionizing radiation make it timely to discuss...
