Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic effects of atmospheric pollutants of synthetic rubber works on the frequency of point mutations in somatic cells of stamen hairs (CSH) of Tradescantia (clone 02) was studied under the condition of functioning or nonoperating shops. It was shown that temporary stopping of shops led to a decrease in the number of recessive mutations in CSN to the level 1.5 times higher than the control one. It...
