Procedure Cholinesterase activity was measured according to the modified biochemical methods developed for crude preparations (Gorunef ah, 1978), using Ellman reagent 5,5"-dithio-bis(p-nitrobenzoic acid) or its red analogue 2,2-dithio-bis-(p-phenyleneazo)-bis-(l-oxy-8-chlorine-3,6) -disulfur acid in the form of sodium salt, which interact with thiocholine salt (Roshchina 2001). Water extracts of vegetative microspores of horsetail (Equisetum arvense) or Hippeastrum hybridum microspores (150 mg of microspores in 30 ml for 1 h) were used.

Wallace et al. (1977), in describing symptoms of titanium toxicity, reported that chlorotic and necrotic spots occurred on the leaves of bush beans containing about 200 mg Ti kg DM. Titanium levels in plants range from 0.15 to 6.5 mgkg DM, and some species of plants, including horsetail Equisetum sp.) and nettle Urtica sp.), as well as certain diatoms, can accumulate much higher levels of the element (Kabata-Pendias 2000). Various titanium compounds were shown not to be mutagenic in Bacillus subtilis (Nordman and Berlin 1986).
