Ecochemical assessment of environmental chemicals Part I: Standard screening procedure to evaluate chemicals in plant cell cultures

A standard screening procedure using sterile soybean and wheat cell suspension cultures has been developed to study the metabolic profiles of established xenobiotics as well as new synthesized compounds. This short term test provides quantitative data on the distribution of metabolites and the parent compound between the nutrient medium and the plant cells, on the amount of more and less polare metabolite fractions in comparison to the parent compound and the amount of substance bound or irreversibly absorbed to the extracted cell fragments. From this data turnover rates are calculated for ranking purpose. Results obtained for 2,4-D, PCP, DEHP and monolinuron as model substances are presented and compared with data from other environmental tests.
