The content of this paper was described at this site as following:
Description: Based on the development of root hairs in seedlings of Fagophyrum esculentum, Sinapis alba, and Triticum aestivum, and surfactant Triton X-100 was bioassayed. Triton X-100 induced a loss of adherence to the substrate of F. esculentum and S. alba seedlings. It inhibited the development of root hairs in these species and also in T. aestivum. The new approach to bioassay of xenobiotics and pollutants is discussed.
