Description
For 3 years following the Chernobyl accident DNA repair efficiency was studied in irradiated and control populations of various plan species. Compared with the control populations, some irradiated populations exhibited increases in the yield of DNA single-strand breaks per unit dose of challenge radiation. The effect was registered in low-dose-rate alpha-irradiated populations, but was absent in plant populations growing in conditions of low-dose-rate beta-irradiation. The efficiency of single-strand DNA repair was identical in control and irradiated populations and approximated 100%. (author). 12 refs.; 1 fig.; 2 tabs
