| Abstract | A short-term assay using Chinese spring wheat for detecting induced aneuploidy and/or clastogenicity is described. The seed of virescent wheat (v1v1) are treated with a test agent. The appearance of white sectors (v1v1v1) or green sectors (v10) on the virescent leaves indicates the gain or loss of a chromosome or a segment of a chromosome bearing v1 allele. Three test chemicals, chromium trioxide (100-5,000 microg/ml), chromium dichromate (500-5,000 microg/ml), and cyclophosphamide (100-1,000 microg/ml) produced a dose-related positive response for chromosome aberrations in the assay. |
