The publications with the following titles are available in the U.S.A. See here:
**
Title: Bioassay of surfactants based on the disruption of seedling attachment to the substrate and rhizoderm root hair formation.
Annotation: New data on phytotoxicity of surfactants to plant seedlings of the species Fagopyrum esculentum, Brassica alba, Triticum aestivum. A new method of bioassay of phytotoxicity of chemicals was proposed in this paper.
**
Title: Response of test-organisms to water pollution with quaternary ammonia compounds.
Annotation:The species usedfor testing : Fagopyrum esculentum,
**
Title: Assessment of biotechnological destruction of anionic surface-active substances using biotesting.
Annotation:The following three biotests were used: Fagopyrum esculentum, Lepidium sativum and Sinapis alba. Growth of seedlings of all the three species was inhibited by the tested samples.
**
Title: Problems of assessment of biological activity of xenobiotics.
A number of species of plants were used for testing.
