Abstract

Three alternate exposures of Cicer arietinum (gram) root callus to lethal (1 ppm) endosulfan-containing selective medium (SM) and non-selective medium (NSM) yielded a tolerant cell line (1 ESR). Such an induced resistance was retained during subculture on NSM for 15 generations tested so far. Higher soluble proteins and peroxidase activity were found in 1 ESR compared to mother tissue.
