A. M. Ananda Kumar*, G. Shanmugapriya and P. Sathishkumar
Abstract The present study reveals the hazardous effect of pesticide Phoskill on the root tips of Allium cepa L. The pesticides at different concentrations viz., 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 ppm concentration disturbed the chromosomes from normal behavior to abnormal. The Abnormalities such as endomitosis, diagonal anaphase, diagonal metaphase, binucleate condition, elongated nucleus, chromosomal bridges, clumping were observed. Initially mitodepressive effects and percentage of Abnormality was increase with the increase of concentration of phoskill. Keywords: Chromosomes abnormality, Phoskill, binucleate condition, endomitosis. [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
