Genotoxicity assessment of water extract of ocimumgratissimum l. using the allium cepa assay

TL;DR: Aqueous leaf extract of Ocimum gratissimum was used to investigate its cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on root meristematic cells of Allium cepa and found that leaf extract exhibits mitodepressive activity.

Effect of solar eclipse on cell division in the meristematic root cells of Allium sativum L.

TL;DR: Eclipse's day light exposures induced various mitotic chromosomal aberrations i.e. scattering/fragmentation, stickiness, eroded chromosomes, chromosomal bridges, laggards and stathmoanaphase.

New report on chromosome number, karyotype and 4C DNA content in three species of Pachypodium Lindley

Anath Bandhu Das, +2 more
- 01 Jan 1998 - 
TL;DR: The correlation coefficient studies showed that the 4C DNA content and genomic chromosome volume were interdependent and the structural alteration of chromosomes as well as loss or addition of highly repetitive sequences in the genome showed a variation in the DNA amount at species level indicated a close relationship between them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interspecific Variations of Nuclear DNA Content and Karyotype Diversity in Ferocactus

TL;DR: The structural alterations in the chromosomes as well as loss or addition of highly repetitive sequences in the genome suggest variations in the nuclear DNA at interspecific level during macro- and micro-evolution of the species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosomes and Nuclear DNA in Regenerants of Scilla indica (Roxb.) Baker Derived from Two Explant Sources

TL;DR: The karyotype of the regenerants did reveal major structural changes in the diploid plantlets derived from both callus lines, and the nuclear state of the explant thus has an important role to play in determining the cytological status of regenerants.
