Abstract
The authors present an approach for conducting and interpreting results of newly established plant cell culture in toxicity studies. Extended culturing produces uniform suspension and facilities sampling. Primary (new) cultures are more representative of all responses of their plant species but produce nonuniform suspension due to clumping and clumping presents unavoidable sampling difficulties. Evaluations were made of the response of plant cell suspension in primary cultures subjected to metal stress in three different experiments. Sampling and data interpretation were examined in detail, using mathematical models. The model revealed stimulation of cell growth when subjected to low concentration of copper and no-growth stimulation with low or moderate concentration of cadmium. This finding resolves some of the confusion in the literature relative to the effect of low doses of cadmium.
