What are some good and bad results on irradiation being used on seeds

Biology

malfutka [58]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed

What happens to a stimulus after the body receives it?
deff fn [24]

When a stimulus is produced it signifies the production of sensation in the sensory organs. This sensation through the sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue) is sent to the sensory nerve connected to these sense organs. These sensory nerves send nerve impulses through the nerve fiber to the spinal cord. From the spinal cord the nerve impulse is transferred to motor nerves.

The motor nerve then sends response to the stimulus though the same path to the region from which stimulus was received and thus the body responds through muscular activity. Such as removal of heat from the heated object if heated sensations were received.
