Chromosome aberrations in plants as a monitoring system.
The potential of higher plants as a first-tier assay system for detecting chemical mutagens is evaluated. The use of plant tissue (primarily root tips and pollen mother cells) for studying the induction of chromosomal aberrations is one of the oldest, simplest, most reliable, and inexpensive methods available. Specific types of abnormalities have been induced by different classes of pesticides....
متن کاملExperimentally Induced Chromosome Aberrations in Plants
The discovery of Lilly and Thoday, that the presence of potassium cyanide (KCN) increases the production of chromosome aberrations by x-rays in anoxia, but has no effect on the production of chromosome aberrations by x-rays in air, was confirmed. In the presence of cyanide, the effect of a given dose of x-rays in nitrogen was found to be even greater than the effect of the same dose of x-rays i...

The interest in the genetic and cytological effects of cyanide was greatly stimulated by the accumulation of data which indicated that hydrogen peroxide was involved in the production of mutations and chromosome aberrations by radiations (46, 43). If hydrogen peroxide is an important cause of mutation and chromosome breakage it would be expected that by inhibiting catalase and peroxidase (the e...
متن کاملChromosome aberrations in astronauts
A review of currently available data on in vivo induced chromosome damage in the blood lymphocytes of astronauts proves that, after protracted exposure of a few months or more to space radiation, cytogenetic biodosimetry analyses of blood collected within a week or two of return from space provides a reliable estimate of equivalent radiation dose and risk. Recent studies indicate that biodosime...
متن کاملChromosome Aberrations in B Lymphocytes
Although chromosome aberrations in T lymphocytes and bone marrow cells have been reported in atomic bomb survivors, the presence of chromosome abnormalities has not been demonstrated in B lymphocytes because of the technical difficulties involved in B-lymphocyte separation. A method for detecting chromosome aberrations in B lymphocytes was established by “stimulation” of B lymphocytes with Epst...
