Abstract
A brief description of some of the effects of radiation upon the meristems, growth habit, and individual plant organs is given. The responses are diverse and complicated. The morphogenetic effects are interpreted in terms of genetic, cytological, and physiological factors. Most of the morphological irregularities described are probably secondary effects due to physiological imbalances.Keywords
