Abstract
A comparative study of physiological effects induced by fast neutrons on normal and mealy-endosperm seeds of TRITICUM DURUM. — Normal and mealy-endosperm seeds of Triticum durum « Cappelli » were irradiated in the dry state with different doses (700, 1000, 1300 and 1600 rep) of fast neutrons for a study of their radio-sensitivity.
Analysis of growth in sand and field survival shown that the normal seeds are more sensitive than those with mealy-endosperm: this is shown by a greater growth reduction at 14 and 21 days after sowing and a lower survival, especially with the dose 700 rep.
