Abstract
Dry pollen of Tradescantia paludosa can be used for studying the effects of ultraviolet radiation on chromosomes. When irradiated with energy of 2650 A wave-length, chromatid and isochromatid deletions and some exchanges are produced. Shattering of chromosomes into many small fragments occurs after high doses of 2650 A radiation.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
