Abstract excerpt
The present was study aimed at investigating the influence of relative humidity and temperature on spontaneous and pollution-induced mutation rates during exposure and recovery periods in the Trad-MCN test. Cuttings of Tradescantia clone 4430 were exposed to a negative control, to 4 mM maleic hydrazide (MH), and to a polluted water sample under varying conditions of air temperature and humidity in climatic...
