Análisis de la interacción entre radiaciones gamma y mms sobre la plántula de semillas de Triticale pretratadas con ácido ascórbico

The protective effect of the ascorbic acid against the physiological damage induced by gamma irradiation and MMS in Triticale caryopses was rested: caryopses were irradiated in absence of water, with water or in an ascorbic acid solution. No variation was detected in the survival following the different treatments. Germination speed was not affected by the different gamma irradiation doses. MMS concentrations and ascorbic acid were toxic.
