- •
Gamma ray is compared with e-beam for effects on E. coli and growth of three seeds.
- •
E. coli cells are more resistant to gamma ray on fenugreek than on other two seeds.
- •
Electron beam at doses of 4–12 kGy can not completely inactivate E. coli on all seeds.
- •
Gamma ray at high doses reduces germination rate and yield while electron beam does not.
- •
Surface morphology varies among the seeds and E. coli cells reside in cracks and openings of seeds.
