Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordInfluence of Ionizing Radiation on Antioxidant Enzymes in Three Species of TrigonellaMuna M. Al-Rumaih, May M. Al-RumaihThe response of three species of Trigonella, namely, Trigonella stellata, Trigonella hamosa and Trigonella anguina to gamma irradiation stress was investigated with respect to antioxidant enzyme induction. When dry seeds were subjected to gamma rays (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 Krad) from a cobalt source 60Co at a dose rate of 233.5 rad/ min, a dose dependent increase in the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,404 accessesView PDF Cite
