Results of the research on the phytotoxic, cytotoxic and genotoxic effects revealed in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants germinated from seeds treated with nanooxide iron (Fe2O3 NP) and crystalline iron oxide (Fe2O3 cr.) are described. Stimulating effects of the majority of their studied concentrations on cell division and tissue growth were demonstrated. Effects of Fe2O3 NP and Fe2O3 cr. also have been studied on growth and development of the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) tissues cultivated in vitro. It has been shown that Fe2O3 NP and Fe2O3 cr. induced both inhibitory and stimulating effects depending on the concentrations applied.
