Description

Long red radish seeds (Raphanus sativus L.) were irradiated with 10 and 30 Gy at dose rates of 4.5, 22.5 and 45.0 Gy/h. Apparently those treatments produced a germination delay and fresh and dry weight values for young plants leaves were than the control, but not statistically significant. Roots of totally developed plants showed no modifications in weight, volume, mean diameter, lenght and in the content of water soluble reducing sugar. Influence of dose rate was not verified.
