Conclusions in the current literature are essentially unanimous regarding what is known about the effects of ionising radiation on plants. It is agreed that acute high-dose effects (primarily from laboratory tests) are well-documented and understood...

During exposure of cells to acute high dose-rate ionizing radiation (IR), oxidants from the radiolysis of water can overwhelm antioxidant systems. Protecting flora from the effects of IR released from a nuclear industry of increasing global significa...
