Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In an effort to assess the characteristics of mutation induced by different linear energy transfer (LET) radiation in higher plants, the mutational effects of carbon-ion beams and gamma-rays were investigated in Arabidopsis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The rpsL (Escherichia coli ribosomal protein small subunit S12) transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis/rpsL) mutation detection system was adopted. Dry seeds of...
