✦ Synopsis

The goal of this work was to begin a genetic study of the molecular mode of action of abscisic acid (ABA), by isolating variant cultured cells resistant to the hormone, or to a factor which induces ABA synthesis, namely water stress. Cell cultures of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin 38 and N. silvestris Speg. and Comes were chosen as the experimental materials. Studies of the effects of the two stresses on the growth of the cultures demonstrated that ABA or water stress imposed by mannitol could completely inhibit growth. These effects arose in both cases from a constant reduction of the growth rate of the cells throughout the culture period. Mannitol also induced an increase in ABA content of the cells and media of suspension cultures, although not to the concentrations required to achieve the same degree of growth inhibition when the hormone was applied exogenously.

## Abstract Variants of the Chinese hamster ovary cell line CHO‐K1 (ATCC CCL 61) which grow almost normally at 38.5Β°C but very poorly or not at all at 30Β°C were obtained after treatment with mutagens and application of an indirect selection procedure. Two kinds of variants were recovered. In the fi

## Abstract With L‐15 as the base medium, drug‐resistant variants were isolated from two amphibian tissue culture strains: the __Xenopus laevis__ A8 diploid cell line and the ICR 2A cell line of __Rana pipiens__. Four different classes of variants were obtained: (1) A8 cells resistant to chloramphe
