The effect of curvature of open magnetic-field tubes on the death lines of radio pulsars is studied. The solution is obtained in the framework of a Goldreich-Julian model for both dipolar and asymmetric magnetic fields. The tube-axis curvature can shift the death line appreciably toward either longer or shorter periods. If the field is dipolar and gamma rays are generated by the inverse Compton effect, the formation of secondary plasma is more efficient near the death line. In the case of an asymmetric magnetic field, the generation of radio emission beyond the tube of open field lines is possible.
