Özet
In the present study, the cytogenetic effects of the herbicide Avenoxan, active substance 2,4-D, were investigated in both Allium cepa L. and Allium sativum L. The roots of the plants were treated with 0, 1%, 0,2% and 0,4% concentrations of Avenoxan for 3, 6 and 12 hours. Root tips after having grown to a certain length were stained according to aceto orcein squash procedure. All of the concentrations of Avenoxan used in the present study significantly induced abnormalities such as c-Mitosis, chromosome stickiness, bridges, laggards, multipolar cells compared to control. Also, Avenoxan significantly decreased mitotic index. Inhibition of the mitotic index was dependent on the concentration and time of treatment. Similar results were obtained in both Allium cepa L. and Allium sativum L.
