The mitotic activity of merstematic cells of Vicia faba , the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities and their interchromosomal distribution are evaluated in dependence on the concentration of maleic hydrazide (MH) and on the recovery period. The influence of exogenous DNA of different genetic origin on the course of repair of primary root cells damaged by MH was also studied. Isologous DNA which exhibited a strong repair effect in authors' previous experiments was quite ineffective in the case of maleic hydrazide. Heterologous DNA, on the other hand, had to some extent a parallel effect with MH in breaking down the structural integrity of chromosomes and increased the frequency of aberrations induced by maleic hydrazide in meristematic cells of Vicia faba .
