The stimulation of growth and development of crops using ionising radiation (radiation hormesis) has been reported by many research groups. However, specific genes contributing to the radiation stimulation of plant growth are largely unknown. In this work, we studied the impact of the low-dose γ-irradiation of barley seeds on the growth dynamics and gene expression of eight barley cultivars in a greenhouse experiment. Our findings confirmed that candidate genes of the radiation growth stimulation, previously established in barley seedlings ( PM19L-like , CML31-like , and AOS2-like ), are significant in radiation hormesis throughout ontogeny...
