From the publication:

7.1 Introduction

Various types of ionizing radiations cause diversely different injuries in living
organisms, namely, from those at genic or molecular level to those at ecosystem
level. These biological responses at different levels result in many cases from some
primary radiation effects (sometimes rather simple) on molecules composing living
organisms, but magnified through the complicacy and delicacy of life phenomenon
and of the structure of organisms, by the self-reproducing function (genetic
phenomenon) characteristic of living organisms, and also by the organic interrelation
between different organisms. Ionizing radiations to which plant species are exposed
include those from space and those emitted by natural or man-made radioactive
nuclides.
