Popis:	Low dose gamma irradiation was used to study stimulation effects on germination percentage and seedling growth of long period storage tomato seeds. Irradiation dose of Co-60 source ranging from 0 (control), 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 Gy were used to irradiated 2 yearsstorage tomato seeds. After irradiation, the seeds were planted in tissue paper. On the eight days of germination, germination percentage, seedling length and root length were measured. The result shows that the germination parameters of the tomato seedssignificantly increased when irradiated with 20 Gy of gamma rays. This study may be useful for stimulating the germination percentage of tomato seeds stored for a long period.
