“…Allium test combines two test targets: toxicity and genotoxicity. Furthermore, important fact is that it has low cost and it shows good correlation with mammalian test systems (Fiskesjö 1993;Cabrera and Rodriguez 1999;Jovtchev et al 2002;Grant 1994Grant , 1999Yi and Meng 2002). Therefore, we used A. cepa as a test material in this study.…”

“…It combines two test targets: toxicity and genotoxicity. Furthermore, it is easy to handle, it has low cost and it shows good correlation with mammalian test systems (Fiskesjö 1985;Grant 1994Grant , 1999Cabrera & Rodriguez 1999;Jovtchev et al 2002;Yi & Meng 2002). The results from Allium test also fit in well in a test battery composed of prokaryotes and/or eukaryotes (Fiskesjö 1993).…”

Lavandula genus is an important member of Labiatae (Lamiaceae) family. People use commonly Lavandula stoechas as a medicinal plant for various diseases around the world and also in Turkey. The aim of this study was to investigate cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of aqueous extracts (40, 80 and 120 g/L) from L. stoechas flowers on Allium cepa root tip meristem cells. For this purpose, A. cepa onion bulbs were treated with the above-mentioned L. stoechas flower extracts for 72 h. Spring water (pH 7.3) was used as a control. The result of this study sowed that aqueous extracts reduced mitotic index, but induced chromosome aberrations and mitotic aberrations in comparison with control, significantly (p < 0.05). Aqueous extracts induced breaks, stickiness, pole deviations and micronuclei. Furthermore, these effects were related to extract concentrations. These results showed that L. stoechas aqueous extracts have cytotoxic and genotoxic effects.

Noxious gases released from vehicles adversely affect the microbial population of the roadside soil as well as exerts influence on plant growth and development. Considering the increasing vehicular pollution in Amritsar, a holy city of Punjab (India) and their serious consequences in terms of health problems, the present study was planned to estimate genotoxic and tumor inducing potentials of soil samples from Golden temple (GT) and Putlighar Chowk (PG) by employing Allium cepa root chromosomal aberration assay (AlRCAA) and Potato disc tumor assay (PDTA), respectively. The genotoxic potential in terms of percent aberrant cells in A. cepa was found to be 29.24 % (GT) and 29.24 % (PG) during in situ treatment and 39.00 % (GT) and 39.48 % (PG) during root dip treatment. The average number of tumors was found to be 14.4 in PG sample, followed by 13.0 in GT sample. Both samples have shown high content of lead viz., 39.81 (GT) and 56.48 (PG) during physicochemical analysis of the samples.
