Mutagenicity of Selected Chemicals in Vicia Faba and Allium Cepa Test Systems

Comparative Chemical Mutagenesis

Abstract

The broad or horse bean, Vicia faba (2n = 12), has widely been used to study the capability of physical and chemical agents to induce chromosome and/or chromatid aberrations, to investigate the kinetics of aberration origination, and to study the influence of the metabolic state of the cells on the effect of mutagenic agents (1–6). The standard karyotype consists of five pairs of acrocentric, nearly equally long chromosomes and one pair of metacentric satellite chromosomes; a number of structurally reconstructed karyotypes have been developed whose chromosomes are all easily distinguishable by morphological criteria. These karyotypes are of special value for the investigation of the patterns of aberration distribution along individual chromosomes (7, 8).
