Abstract:ABSTRACT:The present study documents ionizing radiation induced hormesis and its cytological evaluation via study of microsporogenesis in Crotalaria juncea L. (sunnhemp). Morphometric traits viz. plant height, seedling height, seed yield, lateral branches, number of pods and biomass were analyzed. A concomitant study of radiation response on the cytology of the plant has been done via studying pollen mother cells at different stages of microsporogenesis. Doses used were 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 Gy with … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
