Abstract:A research on radioprotective activity of an extract of Sophora -Sophora japonica L. was carried out at sharp gamma irradiation of seeds of tobacco and wheat. Preliminary treatment of seeds with these preparations resulted in stabilization of the maintenance of pigments of chlorophylls and carotinoids at sprouts of wheat and to decrease in number of chromosomal aberrations in apical meristem of sprouts of tobacco -Nicotiаna tabacum L. obtained from the irradiated seeds.
