Abstract
Anaerobic conditions, the inhibitor of aerobic respiration-sodium azide and the inhibitor of proteosynthesis-chloramphenicol did not influence the increase of toxic and mutagenic effects during the storage of ethyl methanesulphonate-treated barley seeds at 15 per cent water content.
The storage of ethyl methanesulphonate-treated seeds at − 20 °C or at 0 °C avoided all after-effects. With increasing storage temperature (5 °C, 15 °C and 25 °C) the increase of injury due to storage was more pronounced.
Abstract
Dusíková atmosféra, inhibitor aerobního dýchání azid sodný a inhibitor proteosyntézy chloramfenikol neovlivnily zvýšení toxického a mutačního účinku ethylmethansulfonátu během skladování semen ječmene s 15 procentní vlhkostí. Při teplotě skladování - 20 °C a 0 °C nebyly prokázány žádné „skladovaci účinky“ u semen, ovlivněných ethylmethansulfonátem. Se zvyšující se teplotou skladování (5 °C, 15 °C a 25 °C) se toxické a mutační účinky ethylmethansulfonátu zvyšují.
