Abstract

In isolated protoplasts ofVicia fabaL. (cv. Weißkernige Hangdown) which were immobilised in a cross‐linked alginate matrix, ethane production and ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBP carboxylase) aetivity were determined after treatment of the alginate strips with various chemical substances.The stimulation of ethane formation and the inhibition of RuBP carboxylase activity by the toxic materials might provide the basis for a simple, rapid and sensitive system for the determination of chemicals in the environment.
