dc.description.abstract | Radioactivity released from disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima is a global hazard and a threat to
exposed biota. To minimize the deleterious effects of stressors organisms adopt various strategies.
Plants, for example, may delay germination or stay dormant during stressful periods. However, an
intense stress may halt germination or heavily affect various developmental stages and select for
life history changes. Here, we test for the consequence of exposure to ionizing radiation on plant
development. We conducted a common garden experiment in an uncontaminated greenhouse using
660 seeds originating from 33 wild carrots (Daucus carota) collected near the Chernobyl nuclear
power plant. These maternal plants had been exposed to radiation levels that varied by three orders
of magnitude. We found strong negative effects of elevated radiation on the timing and rates of seed
germination. In addition, later stages of development and the timing of emergence of consecutive
leaves were delayed by exposure to radiation. We hypothesize that low quality of resources stored in
seeds, damaged DNA, or both, delayed development and halted germination of seeds from plants
exposed to elevated levels of ionizing radiation. We propose that high levels of spatial heterogeneity in
background radiation may hamper adaptive life history responses. | |
