Abstract
Phaseolus vulgaris L cv. Blue lake seeds
exposed to acute gamma radiation dosages of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, and
7.5 KR from a 60Co 4500 Ci source were planted in the greenhouse . primary leaf samples collected at two stages (10 and
15 days after 50% germinatyion in the control group) were used to estimate biochemical stimulation based on amino acid compositions . radiation and the development stage significantly influenced the amino acid
compositions. Biochemical processes mediated by enzymatic activities and irradiation are thought to relate to amino acid variations .
