β¦ Synopsis
The genotoxicity of rifampicin was tested for sister chromatic exchange in bone marrow cells and for structural chromosomal aberrations in mouse germ cells.
Sister chromatid exchange frequency increased after 160, 240 and 310 mg kg-' body wt. doses but not after 80 mg kg-'. In spermatocytes, 80 mg kg-' rifampicin increased the frequency of chromosomal aberrations from the 3.5% control level to 14% after 1 day and 34.5% after 7 days.

The in-vivo somatic mutation method developed by us in an earlier X-ray experiment was tested for its usefulness in chemical mutagenesis work, specifically in the prescreening for germinal point mutations. In order to explore possible parallelisms, the 7 compounds chosen for study, as well as the ge

Different concentrations of L-glutamine and different nitrogen sources in the medium were compared during maturation of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) somatic embryos. L-glutamine can be used as the sole nitrogen source for the maturation of Picea mariana somatic embryos at 2 to 3 g 1-1
