Abstract
Background Herbicide application for weed control is an integral part of the method for chemical plant protection in agriculture. Herbicides are known to be used partially only for weed destruction (as to various assessments from 5 to 40 % of applied preparation amount) and the rest of their amount remains in an environment and due to high stability is not able to undergo quick physicochemical and biological degradation. Being a factor of man's impact on the environment, herbicides can play a role of toxicants under certain conditions, with manifestation of their effect on different organisation levels of living organisms.

Herbicide application for weed control is an integral part of the method for chemical plant protection in agriculture
Herbicides observed by us under pesticide effect indicate that cells undergo a state of oxidative stress
Granstar, zenkor, semerone, simazine and treflan were used for application on few plant test models such as Allium cepa L., Hordeum vulgare L. and Pisum sativum L
Summary
Herbicide application for weed control is an integral part of the method for chemical plant protection in agriculture. Herbicides are known to be used partially only for weed destruction (as to various assessments from 5 to 40 % of applied preparation amount) and the rest of their amount remains in an environment and due to high stability is not able to undergo quick physicochemical and biological degradation. Herbicides observed by us under pesticide effect indicate that cells undergo a state of oxidative stress. Active oxygen forms (AOFs) emerging under oxidative stress are known to affect the cytoskeleton structure [1]. In their turn, disorders in the cytoskeleton result in a disorganisation of intracellular transport and oxygen consumption resulting in intracellular hyperoxia and the higher AOFs [2]. Disorders in the stability of cytoskeleton proteins under oxidative stress cause inhibition of mitotic events and resulted in cell death
