Abstract excerpt
Mutation dynamics in generations was studied in natural populations of plants from the East Ural Radioactive Track (EURT, Kyshtym accident). The experiments were aimed at the investigation of the formation of genetic load in natural plant populations under conditions of prolonged radiation exposure. The main approach used in the study was the analysis of cytogenetic alteration, chlorophyll and gene mutations in...
