Resumen:
Endosulfan is genotoxic in somatic cells ofBidens laevis, and reproduction could be affected if translocated from roots toflower buds. Hydroponic experiments were conducted to quantify this transfer. While the root uptake of [14C] endosulfan and its transfer to aboveground tissues was relatively low, the resulting averageflower bud concentration (1.010.76 ng/g) after 30 d of exposure to an aqueous concentration of 5mg/L could still represent a genotoxic risk for germ cells.Environ Toxicol Chem2013;32:2478?2481.
