Abstract
Today we are in the modern nuclear age of which several nations of the world have role. The United States is a forerunner in the world attempt to conquer the atom and its energy. The American concern in this field is primarily in three areas: (1) the harnessing of the nuclear energy for economic reasons, and (2) the magnitude of nuclear energy as a destructive threat, and (3) the resultant effects of ionizing radiation on biological organism. This study was pertinent to the third area listed above. It was concerned with the effect of gamma-irradiation on seed germination and its resultant effect on plant growth.
