Abstract:
Comparative inhibition effect of selected nitrogen-containing aromatics on germination rate of Cucumis sativus was investigated, and quantitative structure-activity relationships were developed and mechanistically interpreted. Energy of lowest unoccupied orbital was found to successfully model the toxicity of the test chemicals. It was discovered that inhibition of nitrogen-containing aromatics to germination of Cucumis sativus was caused mainly by their in vivo redox reaction.
