Abstract excerpt
Organisms living on Earth have always been exposed to natural sources of ionizing radiation, but following recent nuclear disasters, these background levels have often increased regionally due to the addition of man-made sources of radiation. To assess the mutational effects of ubiquitously present radiation on plants, we performed a whole-genome resequencing analysis of mutations induced by chronic irradiation...
