title: Radiobiological damage: a new class identified in barley seeds stored after irradiation.
abstract: A new class of radiobiological damage has been identified in irradiated barley seeds. Consisting of both physiological and genetic damage, it appears to be independent of oxygen and long-lived free radicals, and develops very slowly during storage after irradiation. Increasing the storage temperature accelerates its development.
