UV rays (high energetic radiation) cause heritable mutations in the genome of plants that exacerbate plant physiology, environmental factors, plant growth, and affect photosystem and soil properties which ultimately affect crop productivity, leading to the incidence and progress of crop diseases. What is the effect of gamma rays on environment? Gamma rays can pass completely through the human body as they pass through, they can cause ionizations that damage tissue and DNA.
Gamma rays have so much penetrating power that several inches of a dense material like lead, or even a few feet of concrete may be required to stop them.
