Abstract

The effect of X-ray irradiation of pea seeds at a dose of 20 Gy on the endurance of pea plants to UV-C irradiation at a dose of 5 kJ/m2 was studied. It was shown that X-ray irradiation of seeds stimulated plant growth, reduced the effect of UV-C on the plants grown, pigment complex of leaves, stimulated its recovery, and accelerated the utilization of excess H2O2 in leaves. It was shown that the effect of X-rays on pea seeds significantly reduced the destructive effect of high-energy ultraviolet radiation on pea plants. Irradiation of dry pea seeds with X-rays stimulated defense mechanisms that increased the resistance of plants to UV-C.
