Stimulation of Endomitotic DNA Synthesis and Cell Elongation by Gibberellic Acid in Epicotyls Grown from Gamma-irradiated Pea Seeds 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Large doses of γ-irradiation, given to air-dried pea seeds, inhibit the endomitotic DNA synthesis in pea epicotyls during germination in darkness. The cortex cells of the etiolated epicotyls reach only the 4 C DNA level, whereas cortex cells of unirradiated seeds reach the 8 C DNA level. Epicotyl elongation and cell elongation are also reduced.
