The basic structures of flavanones, flavones, and isoflavones together with coumestrol, an intermediate in the phenylpropane metabolism, are given in Fig. 2. The 3,5,7,3 -tetrahydroxy-4 -methoxyflavanone is a nod gene inducer in Rhizo-bium leguminosarum bv. viciae the 3, 4, 5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone, in Rhizobium ineliloti and 4,7-dihydroxyisoflavone, in Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Coumestrol, an intermediate in phenylpropane metabolism, is only a weak inducer (7).

The most common major components of cutin are derivatives of saturated C16 (palmitic) acid and unsaturated C18 acids (Fig. 4). The major component of the C16 family of acids is 9- or 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid (and some mid-chain positional isomers), with less 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid and much smaller amounts of hexadecanoic acid. In some cases other derivatives are significant constituents. For example, in citrus cutin 16-hydroxy-10-oxo-C16 acid, and in young Vicia faba leaves 16-oxo-9 or 10-hydroxy C16 acid are significant... 

Only four plant species, i.e., Vicia faba, Allium cepa, Pisum sativum and Triticum turgidum, responded adequately to the Feulgen procedure, and were considered for use in the successive experiments. These species, together with the corresponding mutagenic compounds used and the mutagenicity tests adopted (see below in Sect. 2.4.) are listed in Table 4.

The field pea (Pisum sativum) and small fababean (Vicia faba minor) were pin milled and air classified into protein and starch fractions or, alternately, the protein, starch and fiber were extracted by an aqueous alkali procedure. 

The smooth field pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Trapper) and small fababean (Vicia faba minor cv. Diana) samples were composites of several lots grown in 1981. After blending, about 20 kg were dehulled on a resinoid disc, abrasive dehuller (19), followed by air aspiration to remove 10 and 15% of hulls, resp. The dehulled seeds were coarse-ground in a hammermill and subdivided for dry and wet processing.
