Abstract: The mutagenic properties of 8 heavy metals (Ag, Cu, Cd, Hg, Cr, Mo, Pb, W.) were studied. Differences in their mutagenic activity were disclosed. Comparative analysis of results from two plant testsystems was held and good similarity was performed.

Keywords: mutagenesis, plant test-systems, heavy metals.
