Abstract

Induction of somatic recessive mutations and micronuclei by solutions of salts of heavy metals CrCl3, Pb(NO3)2, ZnSO4, NiCl2, CuCl2 and chrome oxide Cr3O in test-systems of Tradescantia (clone 02) is investigated. It is shown, that ions of investigated heavy metals are genotoxic. They induce somatic point mutations and clastogen effect in sporogenic cells of Tradescantia.
