Vt. Yarmishko et al., THE EFFECT OF HIGHLY TOXIC COMPONENTS OF ROCKET FUEL ON GERMINATION OF SEEDS OF SEVERAL SPECIES OF VASCULAR PLANTS, Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (6), 1997, pp. 746-749
We present the results of experiments on the effect of treatment with
1,5 diasobicyclo(3,1,0)hexane at different concentrations on viability
of seeds of pine, European spruce, blueberry, and lettuce. This study
did not demonstrate any unambiguous common pattern in the negative ef
fect of the examined component of rocket fuel, particularly at low con
centrations, on the germination rate and germination strength of seeds
of these species.
