- Intervention effect Zinc depressed but did not block root growth.
- Intervention effect Both metals induced chromosome bridges without detectable first-anatelophase breaks.
- Intervention effect Zinc potentiated irradiation clastogenicity six times.
- Intervention effect Cadmium potentiated irradiation clastogenicity eleven times.
- Association Early replicating DNA incorporation had more mitotic chromosome breaks.
- Intervention effect Late interphase incorporation extended G2 and prophase 1.7-fold with zinc.
- Intervention effect Late interphase incorporation extended G2 and prophase 2.7-fold with cadmium.
- Observation Late incorporation allowed lesions to be repaired before anaphase.
- Intervention effect Zinc lengthened the cell cycle 1.5-fold.
- Intervention effect Cadmium lengthened the cell cycle 2.0-fold.
