Abstract

Experiments on Xanthium leaf discs were carried out to determine whether concomitant photoreactivation could be detected and if so, to compare its effects with photoreactivation due to post-irradiation treatments. Attempts mere made to simulate certain intensities of unfiltered solar radiation. A small but definite amount of simultaneous reactivation was observed. The dose reduction factor averaged 0.57. It was not clear whether the reactivation was due mainly to direct photoreactivation, photoprotection, or to heating effects. A much larger amount of reactivation due to post-irradiation treatments (direct photoreactivation) was noted with the dose reduction factor averaging 0.30.
