Abstract
The damage produced by UV light to any of the three different stages of the life cycle of the parent generation of the green algaS. pascheri, i.e. akinetes, germinating akinetes and vegetative cells remained up to the stage of germination of akinetes of the first generation and no deleterious effect was reported thereafter. Lower doses of γ-rays (25–75 Gy) increased the percentage germination of akinetes and germinating akinetes of parent generation. The percentage germination of akinetes, germinating akinetes, survival of colonies originated from vegetative cells and sporulation of cells of the parent generation decreased with increasing doses from 100 to 300 Gy. The γ-induced effect to any of the three different stages was not transferred to the subsequent stage of algal generation.
