Abstract

The mutagenic activity of subterranean waters from two bore-holes in Ararat valley used both for drinking and irrigation was investigated. The frequency of somatic recessive mutations in stamen hair and micronucleus in tetrades was determined by using the clone 02 of Tradescantia. It is revealed the increase of the recessive mutations frequency is 4.4–5.4 times higher and for the quantity of mucronucleei is 1.4–1.5 times higher in comparision with the control. Changes of mutations frequency were registered dependent on the depth of bore-holes water, and on the Na+ ions concentration in them.
