Notes:
Abstract Callus growth, in tobacco pith tissue culture, is activated by p-dimethylaminoazobenzene (p-DAAB), whose carcinogenic properties are well known. Ultrastructural changes, appearing in a period prior to initiation of cell proliferation, occur earlier and more intensely in the presence of the carcinogen. This also influences changes in non-histone chromatin proteins (NHCP). Doxorubicin (DR), an anti-tumor drug, inhibits callus growth and modifies the pattern of NHCP.
