PESTAB. The effect of the following pesticides on mitosis was studied: Perozin 75B (zineb), Agria 1050 (fenitrothion), lindane A-28, Agriphlan (trifluralin) 24, and Zeazin 50 (atrazine). The pesticides were studied in relation to the aberration and vacuolization of the cell nucleus in the root of the fodder pea (Pisum arvense). It was established that all five compounds inhibit cell divisions. In addition, lindane exhibited mutagenic effects. It caused the production of many fragments and tripolar cells. It also stimulated, while the other compounds retarded, the vacuolization of cells.
