Abstract
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an experimental model organism used to study several genetic systems for development, neuronal network, locomotion and reproduction. Its genome and cell lineage have been determined, and lots of genetic mutants have been isolated. We are now attempting to study the tissue-specific effects of ionizing radiation on the germline cells using the heavy-ion microbeam irradiation apparatus at TIARA. In this presentation, we show the experimental procedures and the results of cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in the germline cells following heavy-ion microbeam irradiation, and discuss the future experiment
