Description

This study deals with the combined effect of radiation with mercuric chloride on Tradescantia somatic cell pink mutation. Tradescantia BNL 4430 was used as an experimental material. The somatic cell of Tradescantia are very sensitive to chemical toxicants or ionizing radiation, and thus can be used as a biological end-point assessing their effect
