Abstrakt: In vitro growth preceded by gamma-radiation was studied in two species with non-localised centromere, namely Luzula elegans and Luzula pediformis. Seed germination was affected by radiation doses. Cytological investigation revealed dose dependent chromosomal aberration and spindle disturbances. Chromosome break and fragments were present in Luzula elegans but absent in Luzula pediformis. The growth of the callus was affected at higher doses in both the species. The radiosensitivity of the two species of Luzula with diffuse centromere has been discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
