Radioactivity Stimulation of Fruit-Tree and Grape-Wine Seeds; CONTRIBUTIONS AU PROBLEME DE LA RADIO-STIMULATION DES SEMENCES D'ARBRES FRUITIERS ET DE VIGNE
The effect of beta radiations on the seeds of fruit trees and grapevines was studied. P/sup 32/ was used as the radiation source. Treatments were made using solutions of different concentrations and varying exposure times. The germination was studied to establish the relation between the dose and the radiation exposure and the different aspects of the germination process. The stimulatory and inhibitory effects of the radiation on seed germination were determined. The results are graphed. (J.S.R.)
