Abstract excerpt
A six-year study, starting in 1987, focused on the frequency of embryonic lethals and chlorophyll mutations that arose in developing seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana growing at sites varying in the level of radioactive contamination in the 30-km control region of the Chernobyl Atomic Power Plant. The dose rate of chronic irradiation varied from 200 microR/h to 2.4 R/h. To study the genetic effects of various levels...
