Abstract
IN a previous communication1 I reported the c-mitotic effect of 3-(5′-acenaphthyl)-propanol and 4-(5′-acenaphthyl)-butanol on onion root-tips. This work formed part of a programme of investigations of the structure-activity relationships in the acenaphthene series. The work of Wilson and co-workers2–6 on the use of Pisum as test material for chemically induced abnormal mitosis has led me to attempt its use for evaluation of the acenaphthene derivatives.
