Abstract

I AM constrained to comment on the article entitled “Direct and Indirect Effects of Radiation on Plant Cells: Their Relation to Growth and Growth Induction” by Holsten, Sugii, and Steward1. I am impelled to do this mainly because of what I deem to be an irrelevant statement made in the concluding remarks of the article which states: “The work has other and obvious implications for the radiation sterilization of food, especially in those cases in which the material so radiated is relatively rich in sugar”.
