What are the influence of the radiation environment on plant growth?

Radiation (depending on the level and dose) can damage the DNA (and RNA) at a cellular level, resulting in mutations (cancers) or even destroy the DNA/ RNA completely - resulting in the death of the cell.
As ratiation can penerate through most materials it easily travels through soft tissue (like plants and animals).
Low doses of radiation can cause light surface burns (1st and 2nd degree), heavy doses will cause major tissue and organ damage - normally resulting in death.

∙ 15y agoThe best I can do is refer you to a report on the Chernobyl disaster which contains a section dealing with the effect on plants

∙ 11y agoas we know that radiations can kill the human cells,it is posible for it to minimise the rate of growth of plants and case the plant to shrink

What is plant growth response to environment?
phototropism
How do plant cells respond to their environment?
The environmental factors to which plant cells respond are water, gravity, solar radiation. The response is cell growth, cell death, and in the case of radiation changes in what a cell becomes. Trim a branch end and each cell on the surface is capable of becoming another branch with leaves and seeds.
What are the two environments of a plant?
Above ground and under ground are two environments of a plant.
What is sentence using the word tropism?
A growth response of a plant toward or away from something in it's environment.
What is tissue plant growth and how it is used?
tissue plant growth is the growth of small organism plant and it is used by growing it in a test tube
How do the people influence plant growth?
people the influence the plant growth bcouse they polute the air and cause clobal warming
Does microwave radiation affect plant growth?
Yes
What is plant growth response to environment?
phototropism
What makes up the environment?
If the question is understood properly, the things that make the plant environment are:landwateratmospheresolar radiation

Why the plant under the big plant dont grow that much?
The photosynthesis, a reaction under the influence of visible sun radiation, is slower because the access to this radiation is partially blocked.
How does the condition of the soil impact all aspects of the environment?
plant growth
What influences the rate of plant growth in different type of plants?
environment and dna
How does radiation affect plants?
Just because it duz^ thanx bro helpfull answernow my answer! :DPrevents Seed Growth· Ultraviolet radiation affects plant growth and development in many ways. First, it gradually stops seed growth and sprouting, depended on the how much radiation is released. Soil can become compacted and lose the nutrients needed for plants to grow. The results of various lab experiments supplying Ultraviolet radiation through filtered lamps proved that higher doses of radiation administered to the plants were very damaging.Disrupts Stomata Resistance· The stomata is a small air hole within a plant leaf that also controls water levels. If there is too much evaporation due to intense radiation, the stomata closes to reserve water. If the stomata is unable to open for a long period of time, the growth of the plant is stunted. Prolonged periods of radiation can completely damage the stomata and destroy the plant.Damages Plant Cells· The cells of living organism are also damaged and killed by Ultraviolet radiation. What allows plants to grow is the division and expansion of cells as they take up water. Cells contain chromosomes, the genetic material responsible for plant reproduction. If the cell is overly damaged by radiation, then reproduction is hindered.Increases Cell Mutations· Because ultraviolet radiation destroys cells, the chances of mutation are great. Affected plants are often small and weak with altered leaf patterns.Reduces Plant Fertility· Prolonged radiation can completely destroy the fertility of a plant. The plant gradually dies. The surroundings become poisoned and prevent the growth of future offspring.Not all radiation is bad. Sunshine is a type of radiation that is needed for photosynthesis and normal plant growth.
What are the two environments of a plant?
Above ground and under ground are two environments of a plant.
What does salt do to plant growth?
Putting salt into plant soil will hinder plant growth and even kill the plant by making the soil outside more concentrated than the environment inside of roots. This stops the absorption of water and minerals by the roots.
What has the author M S Liu written?
