Description
In order to investigate radiosensitivity on ginseng (Panax qinsena C.A. Meyer), the dehiscent seeds with high water content, 55.1 %, were irradiated with X-ray. The differences of biological injuries in ginseng seedlings due to the dose of X-ray were quite obvious in all characters as well as germination rate. The lethal dose-50 percent was about 2.5 kR.
