Abstract

It was found out that non-ion detergent X-100 changed the leaf and root morphological traits in sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.). Appearance of induced changes in sugarbeet was observed as a result of Triton X-100 effect on the multi-dimensional system of inherited information coding. These changes could be retained for a longer time with large number of cell generations which suggests Triton X-100 to be used as an epimutagen of a new type.
