Studies on cytotoxic effects of cycloheximide on root meristem of Allium sativum L
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
The cytotoxic effects of Cycloheximide, a widely used fungicide were investigated on meristematic cells of A. sativum L. The results showed that the fungicide is mitodepressive in nature. It also induced various types of chromosomal and nuclear aberrations such as chromatid separation, chromosomal bridge, laggards, polarity abolition, binucleate and multinucleate cells. It is concluded that cycloheximide not only inhibits mitotic activity but also shows adverse impact on chromosomal behavior of cells.
