Abstract
Tubers and shoots of potatoes were exposed to gamma radiation in doses of 1 to 5 RR and observations were made on biometric and morphological changes at different stages of development. Higher doses of radiation resulted in decreased survival, chlorosis of leaves, and twisting and thickening of leaf plates. The slower growth when radiation was delivered 15 days after sprouting lowered the harvest to a greater extent than irradiation at the budding stage. (HLW)
