Abstract

The effect of Y-rays from Co60 on growth and development of Sorhum seeds was studied. It has been found that doses of 3 and 5 Kr increased the percentsge germinatlon, while no apparent change was noticed on the root and shoot elongatron. Leaf growth and leaf initiation was stimulated more at lower doses. Higher doses i.e. above 10 Kr had inhibitory effect on all growth processes except the leaf growth
