The article reports on novel plant bioassays for monitoring the genotoxicity of drinking water from the inhabited areas of the Ukraine affected by the Chernobyl accident. To analyze the genetic effects of radioactive contamination on living organisms a choice of test system is critical. The ideal system has to be eukatyotic, provide a large number of offspring, be easy to handle and provide results on the molecular level. Higher plants were recently proven to be very suitable and reliable systems for biomonitoring. The "Ailium cepa" chromosome aberration test provided a rapid screen for toxic and genotoxic effects of chemicals and metal ions.
