Using the rhizomes of Cymbidium kanran Makino as materials, we studied the radiation-induced effects of the rhizomes after 60Co-gamma ray radiation. This article mainly describes the influences on proliferation, differentiation and physiological changes of the rhizomes after radiation. The results are as follows:
1. As the radiation dose increased, the death rate of rhizomes increased. The median lethal dose was 80.30 Gy. During the late growth stage, the rhizomes were in good condition after a low dose...
