Popis: The effect of hyberbaric oxygenation on mutagenicity of nitrosomethylurea (NMU) was examined. It was shown that in the regimes studied, hyperbaric oxygenation enhances the NMU mutagenic effect on the plastid genetic material of sunflower. Possible mechanisms of the increase of NMU-induced mutagenesis by hyperbaric oxygenation are discussed.
