Is there anyone out there who has a strong background in plant biology?
Some time ago i posted about irradiating pumpkin seeds, and the possible
effects. I work with radiation and recently had a patient tell me that
poinsetta seeds were sometimes irradiated to get different varieties.
I was told by a medical physicist that he didn't think there would be any
effect in what sprouted. But he really had no idea.
I really don't know anything about plant genetics/biology etc. But
I can't wait to nuke these seeds!! Brock, is this your area???
