Effects of synthetic pyrethroids on mammalian chromosomes. I. Sumicidin.

TL;DR: Sumicidin, a fenvalerate type of synthetic pyrethroid, is used as an alternative for classical insecticides and when force-fed in low doses daily over a long period to Rattus norvegicus, in vivo, chromosomal aberrations and alterations in the mitotic index were induced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of sodium benzoate on DNA breakage, micronucleus formation and mitotic index in peripheral blood of pregnant rats and their newborns

TL;DR: The results showed that general genomic injuries were present in almost all the liver cell samples obtained from the SB group compared with the control (non-treated) group, indicating that SB usage may cause DNA damage and increase micronuclei formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of RAPD markers, in situ DNA content and structural chromosomal diversity in some legumes of the mangrove flora of Orissa

TL;DR: By employing RAPD markers, karyotypes and 4C DNA content analysis, the present study has helped to resolve the relationship between the taxonomically diverse leguminous mangroves and study their ability to coexist with mangrove that would shed light on the evolution ofMangroves from terrestrial species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strategies for "minimal growth maintenance" of cell cultures: a perspective on management for extended duration experimentation in the microgravity environment of a Space station

TL;DR: An evaluation of a range of strategies that can enable one to manipulate cell physiology and curtail growth dramatically toward this end, including cryopreservation, chilling, reduced oxygen, gel entrapment strategies, osmotic adjustment, nutrient starvation, pH manipulation, and the use of mitotic inhibitors and growth-retarding chemicals.
