Effects of radiation on living cells and plants.

Abstract

This chapter discusses the physical, chemical and biological effects of radiation on living cells and plants. The effects of radiation on plant enzymes, cell division, growth, seed germination and reproduction are covered, and methods in the visualization of damaged DNA (Comet assay and TUNEL test) are described.
