Abstract:
In this paper,the influence of benzamide on the frequency of micronucleated cells and chromosomal aberration in the root tip cells of Vicia faba was evaluated. The results indicated that benzamide could induce micronucleated cells and chromosomal aberration.As the concentration of benzamide increased, the frequency of micronucleated cells was not increased or even decreased at benzamide level of 20-200×10-6. On the contrary, as the treatment continued,the frequency of micronucleated cells and chromosomal aberration was significally increased at the same level of benzamide.The relationship between the sensitivity of quota (micronucleated cells and chromosomal aberration) and methods(the material regained or not) was also studied.
Key words:
Benzamide,
Vicia faba,
Micronuclei,
Chromosomal aberration
