Abstract in English
This experiment was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus
University (2001 – 2002), to assess the effect of radiostimulation of seeds of two
durum wheat varieties (Hourani and Cham 3) on some morphological traits
and yield components, by using three doses of gamma rays (10, 15, and 20 GY).
The study showed significant differences among radiation doses. The high
doses (15, 20 GY) caused a significant deterioration in growth and development
of plants, as well as yield components of the two varieties.
