Mutagenicity of two herbicides widely used on soybean crops by the Allium cepa test

Abstract: This study evaluated the mutagenic effects of two herbicides: Clorimurom Nortox Ò and Imazaquim Ultra Nortox Ò widely used on soybean crops in Brazil. As a test system, Allium cepa assay was used, which analyzes the frequency of micronuclei (MN), chromosomal aberrations (CA) and the mitotic index (MI). Four concentrations of each herbicide (50, 75, 100 and 125 %) were tested in triplicate using distilled water (negative control) and methyl methanesulfonate (positive control) as controls. Three experimental rep… Show more

“…This test-object allows recording various types of chromosomal mutations induced both by mutagens directly damaging DNA and promutagenes acquiring genetic activity in the living organism in the process of metabolism (Fiskesio, 1985;Seth et al, 2008;Leme & Marin-Morales, 2009;Yildiz et al, 2009;Geras'kin et al, 2011b;Barberrio, 2013;Trushin et al, 2013;Firbas & Amon, 2014;Dutta & Ahmad, 2016;Silveira et al, 2016;Cabuga et al, 2017;Duarte et al, 2017). It has been established that the results obtained by using A. cepa are highly correlated with those carried out on mammalian cells, including human ones (Ghosh et al, 2011).…”

“…Herbicides are weed-control substances (insecticides) that have the potential to cause substantial environmental damage [ 2 , 3 ]. Because there is a strong relationship between these chemical molecules and diseases, particularly metabolic disorders, they have both good and detrimental impact on humans [ 4 ]. People are typically exposed to a variety of herbicides through the use of fresh fruits and vegetables as weed switch plant goods [ 5 ].…”
