The mutagenic activity was studied for the following 14 psychotropic drugs: aminazinum, fluphenazinum-decanoate, thioproperazinum, reserpinum, chlordiazepoxidum, diazepam, oxazepam, trioxazin, tavor, dipheninum, hexamidinum, benzonalum, carbamazepinum, ethosuximidium. It is shown that carbamazepinum, benzonalum, chlordiazepoxidum considerably increase the frequency of chromosome aberrations in the Allium fistulosum L. cells. These drugs were selected for studying their mutagenic activity on the laboratory animals.

Plants exhibit diverse pathways to regulate the timing of flowering. Some plant species require a vegetative phase before being able to perceive cold stimuli for the acceleration of flowering through vernalization. This research confirms the correlation between the vernalization process and seedling age in Welsh onions.

Background: A homegarden is a conventional small-scale agricultural ecosystem dominated predominantly by humans. Homegarden plants, which are plants with specific functionalities that are either cultivated or consciously preserved within the homegarden, are the most critical elements of the homegarden and are capable of providing a multitude of products and services. Recognized as one of China's biodiversity hotspots, the Wuling mountain area has long been inhabited by multiple ethnic groups, each of which has accumulated a wealth of traditional knowledge.

is an important plant germplasm resource, rich in nutrients and possessing unique medicinal value. However, due to its small floral organs, low seed setting rate of a single flower, high cost of artificial emasculation, and artificial pollination, the use of male sterile lines to prepare hybrids has become a common choice. In this study, var.

One of the primary sources of trace elements in the environment is wastewater used for irrigation. However, the effects of untreated wastewater containing high concentrations of chromium and zinc on vegetables and the potential human health risks associated with their consumption are poorly understood. This pot experiment aimed to address this research gap.
