title: Radiation stimulated increase of plating efficiency of free plant cells.
abstract: Radiation induced stimulation of plating efficiency of free plant cells was observed following irradiation with X-rays (1.25 Gy, dose rate 3.1 Gy.nin(-1)) and fission neutrons (1.5 Gy, dose rate 0.05 Gy.nin(-1)). The dose range where the radiation stimulation effect is manifest is inversely correlated with the applied dose rate.The results are discussed in view of the radiation induced stimulation as it is applied in agricultural practice.
