ABSTRACT. Researches were conducted with wheat (Tríticum durum), barley (Hordeum vulgare) and
corn (Zea mays indentata) plants irradiated with gamma radiation at different doses. In the studies
conducted by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy (EPR) method, some biophysical
parameters were studied in control and ten-day-old sprouts of wheat and corn seeds irradiated with
different doses of ionizing gamma radiation, and a detailed explanation of the obtained regularities
was given. At the same time, cytogenetic analyzes were carried out with seedlings of wheat (Tríticum
durum), barley (Hordeum vulgare) and corn (Zea mays indentata) plants irradiated with different
doses of ionizing gamma radiation, and chromosomal aberration was determined. The regularity
observed in the results obtained during the experiments was explained by the working mechanism
of the photorespiration process in plants belonging to the C3 type of photosynthesis. Germination
dynamics were determined in the studied plants. Prepared samples were studied on a ZEISS Axio
Imagez A2 electron microscope. Compared with control samples, the effect of different doses of
ionizing gamma radiation on the mitosis process in plant roots was studied.
