Description

The effect of moisture content of seeds at the time of irradiation in relation to radiation-induced stimulation was investigated on rice. The optimum moisture content was 8% for stimulation measured as seedling height. It is concluded that seed moisture at the time of irradiation plays an important role in the expression of stimulation and its reproducibility. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Der Einfluss des Feuchtigkeitsgehalts von Samen zum Zeitpunkt der Bestrahlung auf die strahleninduzierte Stimulation wurde an Reis untersucht. Der optimale Feuchtigkeitsgehalt lag bei 8%; die Stimulation wurde anhand der Pflanzenhoehe gemessen. Daraus folgt, dass die Feuchtigkeit des Samens zum Zeitpunkt der Bestrahlung eine wesentliche Rolle fuer die Stimulation und ihre Reproduzierbarkeit spielt. (orig.)
