Abstract excerpt
Non-targeted effects induced by ionizing radiation have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Previously, we have also demonstrated the existence of non-targeted effects in intact Arabidopsis seeds following low-energy heavy-ion radiation. In the present study, 6.5 MeV protons with 8 × 10(11) ions/cm(2) and 2 × 10(11) ions/cm(2) fluence respectively were used to irradiate non-shielded or partial-shielded...
