Effect of low-dose gamma irradiation on the α-amylase activity at different stages of the seedling development in barley

  • 1. Agrartudomanyi Egyetem, Goedoelloe (Hungary)

Description

Radiation-induced changes in the α-amylase activity of barley seeds during germination were studied. Barley-seeds of Kompolti Korai were irradiated with doses of 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 rad. The seeds were germinated for 96 hr and the α-amylase activity was determined periodically. The observation showed high α-amylase activity at 500 rad. These effects can be attributed to the increase of gibberellin - like substances. (author)
