Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Other seeds were less affected by Cs-137 radiation.
- Intervention effect Co-60 radiation markedly lowered germination index in all four seed types.
- Intervention effect Increasing melanin coating significantly protected O. sativa germination index after Cs-137 exposure.
- Intervention effect Increasing melanin coating significantly protected germination index in all seeds after Co-60 exposure.
- Intervention effect Cs-137 doses and 0.1 kGy Co-60 had no observed effect on seed germination percentage.
- Intervention effect At 0.5 kGy Co-60, 50 to 60% of unprotected seeds were killed.
- Intervention effect Melanin paint yielded nearly 100% seed survival.
