The mutagenic interaction between N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) and X-rays was tested in the stamen hairs of Tradescantia clone BNL 4430, a blue/pink heterozygote. ENU, a monofunctional alkylating agent with a low Swain-Scott substrate constant (s) of 0.26, exhibited a strong cytotoxicity. ENU-induced
