Extract

In recent years, some experiments with low doses of ionising radiation have been performed, with reproducible results, which indicate a positive stimulus rather than a deletirious effect (Decker & Degner 1983; Wolff 1989).

The aim of our own studies was to establish whether low doses of ionising radiation can influence metabolism by means of a modification of the concentration of a plant hormone, in this particular case jasmonate. The multiple physiological effects caused by the plant bioregulator jasmonate, including response to stress, suggest their essential involvement in central genetic and metabolic processes (Sembdner & Parthier 1993).
