The potential use of micronucleus assays in plants for the detection of genotoxic effects of heavy-metal ions was investigated. Three different plant systems were comparatively investigated in micronucleus tests with Tradescantia pollen mother cells (Trad MCN) and micronucleus tests with meristemati

The addition of pentachlorophenol or salicylamide all resulted in similar effects as ascorbate, through reduction of sulfation. Galactosamine, an inhibitor of glucuronidation, and the nucleophile GSH caused no or only minor effects of the activation of AAF, AF or N-OH-AAF as judged from the endpoint
Heavy metals are stable and persistent environmental contaminants. The range of metal concentrations is generally below acute thresholds in coastal areas, where recognition of chronic sublethal effects is more relevant. Evidence of long-term adverse effects, such as cancer, due to heavy metals in ma
Monolayers of rat hepatocytes metabolize 0.25 mM 2acetylaminofluorene (AA F) to various ether-extractable, watersoluble as well as covalently bound products. The major ether-extractable metabolite formed is 2-aminofluorene (AF), followed by 7-OH-AAF and 9-OH-AAF. Pretreatment of rats with the induce
