RT Journal Article ID 5f3934dd3dc8b883 A1 Shevtsova, N. L. A1 Gudkov, D. I. T1 Cytogenetic Damages in the Common Reed Phragmites australis in the Water Bodies of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone JF Hydrobiological Journal JO HYD YR 2013 FD 2013-04-04 VO 49 IS 2 SP 85 OP 98 K1 chromosomal aberrations K1 common reed K1 absorbed dose K1 water bodies of the Chornobyl exclusion zone. AB Cytogenetic damages were studied in the root meristem cells of the common reed from the water bodies of the Chornobyl exclusion zone with different level of radionuclide contamination. The chromosomal aberrations rate and their range were analyzed. Frequency of chromosomal aberrations in plants from the water bodies within the Chornobyl exclusion zone exceeds frequency of spontaneous mutagenesis in hydrobionts 2−6 times and is in power dependence on the absorbed dose.
