Popis: Double heterozygotes, a 1 + / a 1 a 2 + / a 2 , of Nicotiana tabacum L. var. xanthi n.c. were exposed to very low and low chronic dose rates of gamma-rays ( 137 Cs source) in the ecosystem of the C.E.A. at Cadarache. The 24-h cumulated doses were 0.24, 12, 84, 156 and 228 mrad at very low dose rates; they amounted to 6, 12, 18 and 24 rad at low dose rates. The response was linear in both dose ranges, there was no difference between the two slopes and no plataeau was statistically detectable.
