title: [Features of action of low doses of gamma-radiation on yeast cells].
abstract: Lethal effect of low doses and adaptive response to low doses of prolonged irradiation were investigated in experiments on yeast cells. The phenomenon of hypersensitivity at low dozes was not found in yeast cells at gamma-irradiation. The adaptive response was observed after exposure to low doses of prolonged irradiation, the degree of the reaction depends on a dose rate. The adaptive reaction was kept for some time after the termination of adaptive irradiation then the sensitivity of cells increased even in comparison with unirradiated ones.
