| Abstract: | The induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosomal aberrations (Ch.Ab.) by the herbicide maleic hydrazide (MH) has been investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells grown in vitro and in bone marrow cells of mice treated in vivo. MH induces SCE and Ch.Ab. in CHO cells without metabolic activation; however, no induction of SCE was found in the in vivo experiments. |
