Abstract
Damage as a result of irradiation by sparsely ionizing radiation of maize and barley seeds is lower when dry seeds are soaked in D 2O than in H 2O prior to irradiation. The reduction in radiosensitivity by D 2O was mainly manifested in the presence of oxygen there being no effect of D 2O when seeds were irradiated anaerobically. Evidently, the reduction in radiation damage due to D 2O is largely oxygen-dependent.
