Summary

In the epithelium of the tongue in albino rats, mitoses disappear after irradiation and the percentage of cells synthesizing DNA markedly declines. In 96 h, the number of labelled nuclei sharply increases as compared to the control ones. Consequently, irradiation interferes with the transition of the cells from the G1 period to the S period and the G2 period. With the advent of a compensatory process, all periods of the mitotic cycle apparently become shorter.
