Abstract

The effect of low-dose X-irradiation (125-2500 R) of O. kilimandscharicum seeds on germination, growth, and development was studied. Exposure to 1500 and 2500 R brought about marked stimulation in growth and flowering. The increase in foliar growth has resulted in a higher net yield of essential oil and camphor.
