Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Proton ions are expected to be used as a discriminative radiation source to induce different kinds of mutations than those produced by γ-rays and carbon ions; however, there is little systemic information about radiosensitivity in plants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed the LD30, LD50, and RD50 values in response to proton ions and γ-rays using 20 plant species. Plant seeds were irradiated, and growth...
