摘要

One of the most severe consequences of unwise human activities is extinction of numerous species of plants: today 90% of food production is provided by 120 different species of crop plants. Industrialized agriculture and improper use of chemical compounds are responsible for the enhanced genetic erosion, affected being the local varieties of crops and old varieties as well. Losing of local varieties is more than their total disappearance. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of nitrophenolic pesticides on the plants viability at molecular level and trying to draw attention on the danger of the widespread use of toxic compounds.
