It is established that Eleutherococcus extracts used in weak concentrations decrease the frequency of chromosome mutations induced by ethylmethanesulphonate in onion and barley. As a result the survival rate of plants under conditions of the field experiment increases. It is shown that the fixation of chromosome mutations takes place in the dividing cells of onion roots in the first four hours after treatment with the mutagen. One of the possible mechanisms of defensive Eleutherococcus action (low concentrations) and of mutagenic one (high concentrations) is discussed.
已经确定，低浓度使用的刺五加提取物可降低甲磺酸乙酯在洋葱和大麦中诱导的染色体突变频率。因此，在田间试验条件下植物的存活率提高。结果表明，在用诱变剂处理后的前四个小时内，洋葱根部分裂细胞中发生了染色体突变的固定。文中讨论了刺五加（低浓度）的防御作用和诱变作用（高浓度）的一种可能机制。
