Description

The main problem related to the detection and assessment of biological and genetic effects of low and very low doses of ionizing radiations concerns the statistical confidence. The a1+/a1 a2+/a2 system of Tobacco (Nicotania tabacum L. variety xanthi) is particularly well suited for evaluating genetic effects in this radiobiological field. (author). 7 refs., 1 tab
