Figure 3

Predicted radiation responses at different constant dose rates based on best-fit model parameters for plant (Arabidopsis thaliana) data. (A) Dose rate shown on logarithmic scale for better visualization of low dose rates. (B) dose rate shown on linear scale. Red curve = total radiation response (TE and NTE). Blue curve = NTE only. Green curve = TE only. Time since the start of exposure to the constant dose rate was set to 20 years so that near-equilibrium for the response could be achieved. In this and the following figures, background embryonic mortality was subtracted for better visualization of the radiation responses.
