Description

Seeds of Caixin (Brassica campestria L. ssp. chinesis var. utilis Tsen et Lee) presoaked with water for 1 h were irradiated with 60Co γ-ray. Electrolyte leakage and accumulation of MDA increased obviously when the dose was over 200 Gy. The activities of POD and SOD was induced to increase by irradiation and the radiosensitivity of Sijiu is lower than Liushitianteqing. The doses of 200 ∼ 300 Gy were recommended as suitable irradiation doses for pre-soaked seeds of Caixin. (authors)
