[Effect of cadmium ions on cell division in the root meristem of Crepis capillaris (L.) Wallr].
Germination of seeds in cadmium chloride solution resulted in certain disturbances in nuclear division and stopped cytokinesis. Cystein added to cadmium chloride solution decreased the number of these disturbances. The effect of cadmium ions is supposed to be associated with the SH-groups blocking in contractile proteins of cellular spindle or in enzymes responsible for mitosis.
