Paper Summary

The study looked at how different doses of gamma rays affected Cyperus alternifolius plants. They irradiated the plants' rhizomes with various doses and found that 20 Gray led to the highest sprouting rate, while 100 Gray caused the lowest survival rate. The highest dose also resulted in dwarf plants and increased genetic polymorphism.
