The effect of outer space environments on Lactuca sativa seeds flown on Cosmos biosatellites
Description
The effect of cosmic radiation on air-dry lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds was investigated. It was attempted to discriminate the effects of cosmic ionizing radiation per se and its combination with solar light radiation. It was found that the number of aberrant cells in the seeds exposed to solar light was smaller than that of cells chielded with 0.0008 to 0.0035 g/cm3 foil which could be attributed to photoreactivity
