e0“A Strong reduction in field survival has also occurred for unirradiated embryos transplanted on endosperms irradiated with 1000 Kr of gamma rays”
e1“in Albimonte wheat, it was also shown that heavily gamma- irradiated endosperm depresses growth in both the root and shoot systems of the embryo transplanted on it”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Irradiated barley endosperm had no clear effect on unirradiated embryo seedling growth or field survival with technique A.
- Intervention effect Barley embryos irradiated and grafted onto unirradiated endosperm produced 33 mature plants among 2400 embryos, whereas intact irradiated controls did not survive.
- Observation A genetic test detected no seedling mutation in either transplant direction.
- Intervention effect X-irradiated barley endosperm tended to reduce both shoot and root growth with technique B.
- Intervention effect Thermal-neutron-irradiated barley endosperm depressed root growth only.
- Intervention effect Heavily gamma-irradiated endosperm depressed root and shoot growth in Albimonte wheat.
