“…The end result of the treated herbicides was dose dependent manner and representing a famil iar means of action [71]. There might be some pos sibilities for the use of the herbicides as a selective cause for plant alteration or transformation and in conventional breeding method as a tolerant species [72][73][74]. Also, the herbicides could be used for the induction of tetraploidy which might lead to qual ity improvement for both ornamental and agro nomic plant species [75,76].…”

The widespread use of the herbicides for weed control and crop productivity in modern agriculture exert a threat on eco nomically important crops by way of cytological damage to the cells of the crop plant or side effects, if any, induced by the herbicides. In the present communication, author describes the effects of 2,4 D and Isoproturon on chromosomal mor phology in mitotic cells of Triticum aestivum L. The wheat seedlings were treated with range of concentrations (50-1200 ppm) of 2,4 D and Isoproturon for 72 h at room temperature. In the mitotic cells, twelve distinct chromosome structure abnormalities were observed over control. The observed irregularities were stickiness, c mitosis, multipolar chromosomes with or without spindles, fragments and bridges, lagging chromosomes, unequal distribution of chromosomes, over contracted chromosomes, unoriented chromosomes, star shaped arrangement of the chromosomes, increased cell size and failure of cell plate formation. The abnormalities like stickiness, fragments, bridges, lagging or dysjunction, unequal distribution and over contracted chromosomes meet frequently.

“…• A mutant alpha-tubulin Tub1 gene from goose grass that confers resistance to herbicides of the dinitroaniline (e.g., trifluralin) and phosphoroamidate families. It was employed as SMG for transformation of finger millet, soybean, flax, tobacco and more recently barley (Yemets et al, 2009;Tanasienko et al, 2011).…”
