Abstract:In order to investigate the dose effect and relative biological effect (RBE)on chromosomal aberration in root-tip,the dry seeds of rice variety"Guang Lu"dwarf No.4 were irradiated by ~(137)Cs γ-rays with diff- erent doses.The dose effect curves for chromosomal aberrations were fitted as follows:single bridge,double-bridge,and multipolar were by the model Y=AS~B;for multibridge,mieronuclei,breakage and metaphase abnomality by the model Y=X/(A+BX);for the lagging type and cell chromosomal aberration by the model Y=A+BX.In comparison with the ~(60)Co γ-rays,the relative biological effects(RBE)for chromosomal aberration induced by ~(137)Cs γ-rays was 0.73±0.15.
