Abstract
Earlier was shown that in populations around the Nuclear Power Plant, the seed survival can decrease by up to 20%, statistical simulations showed that CAs can appear independently and Poisson-distributed (P) as well as correlative enhanced and geometrical-distributed (G) (Korogodina et al., 2004). Our aim was to determine the regulatory mechanisms of viability and variability of seed plant populations. We showed that damage transmission in meristem (bystander effect) is described by relay-race scheme and corresponds to G-distribution. We showed that P-subpopulation did not change significantly, whereas value of G-fraction did with dose/dose rates. We conclude that G-machinery plays an adaptive role.
