“…Similar type of cytotoxic effects of different chemicals have been carried out on different plant materials by several workers (Adam et al 1990, Bellani et al 1991, Pandey et al 1994, Datta et al 1998, Shukla and Datta 1999, Amin 2002, Mondal et al 2006, Radić et al 2010, Olorunfemi et al 2011. In a recent report, Dutta and Ahmed (2016) observed that azo dye used in many industries induced cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on A. cepa root cells. Datta et al (2002) studied the toxic effects of industrial effluent on growth performance of non-consumable economic ornamentals cash crop like Chrysanthemum morifolium.…”

Two Major Components of Steel Fabrication Industry, Benzene and Thinner Induce Cytotoxicity in Allium cepa L. Root Cells

The various toxic chemicals used in painting of steel furniture are benzene, toluene, xylene and thinner. Of these, the cytotoxic effects of benzene and thinner were evaluated using root tip cells of Allium cepa. Chromosomal aberration assay was done and relative division rate (RDR) and mitotic index were calculated. An investigation of the root length was also carried out for 14 days in both control and after post treatment with benzene and thinner. Benzene and thinner showed positive cytotoxic effects on A. cepa root tips. Chromosomal abnormalities induced were early separation, exclusion, laggard, sticky bridge and persistent bridge. Both benzene and thinner also showed some positive effect on stimulation of cell division and growth of roots. These should not be deterred danger for crops on the basis of only cytotoxic effect. Thus, both cytotoxic and genotoxic effects should be assessed.

“…A simple search on Google scholar on 21 June 2018 with the key "Allium test" produced 3170 hits, showing the wide use of the test in a variety of different investigations. A few examples are studies examining the effects of toxic plants (Khan et al 2010;Pesnya et al 2017), nanoparticles (Yekeen et al 2017), synthetic plant hormones such as etephon (Yavuz et al, 2017), industrial waste (Firbas and Amon 2017;Dutta et al 2018), aquatic environmental samples (Firbas 2015), fungal extracts (Dávila Giraldo et al 2018), herbicides (de Souza et al 2016), insecticides (Souza et al 2017), fungicides (Dane and Dalgiç 2005), pesticides (Fatma et al 2018), radioactivity (Evseeva et al, 2003) and heavy metals (Liu and Kottke 2003), and the mitigating effects of antioxidant or vitamins in case of treatment with genotoxic agents (Asita Okorie et al 2017).…”

An evaluation for the standardization of theAllium cepatest as cytotoxicity and genotoxicity assay

A general report on the use of the Allium test as cytotoxicological and genotoxicological assay is proposed, with particular emphasis about the standardization of the test in several common applications. The intraspecific variation in Allium cepa has been overlooked, as in most investigations no mention is made about origin and denomination of the onion cultivar used. A standardization of the used material would allow a better generalization of the results, since we cannot be sure that all cultivars would give the same response. A more frequent use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation is proposed. Even if relatively time consuming and not available in all laboratories, it may help to better understand the mechanism of cytotoxicity, since many morphological characters may appear similar but be arisen from different processes observable only with TEM. About statistical testing, tests other than chi-squared may be used in case of a lower amount of data. The most commonly used statistical tests are the parametric tests ANOVA and Student's t, and the nonparametric tests Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U, for analysis of variance. Tests should be used also to assess the minimal sample dimension for obtaining significance, since data collection (microscope observation) appears to be one of the main bottle necks of the test. Also the use of the Allium test for testing liposomes and other nanovectors for drug delivery is proposed, in order to assess the cytotoxicity of these types of medium and the possible increase in cytotoxicity of the associated drug.

“…1g ). Chromosomal bridges are usually arisen from fusion and rupture of chromosomes or chromatids (Luo et al 2004 ), while unequal distribution of chromatin occurs due to the non-disjunction of chromatids in anaphase and causes a subsequent increase in vagrant frequency (Dutta et al 2018 ). Oladipupo et al ( 2021 ) showed a strong positive correlation between the frequencies of bridges and sticky chromosomes in the meristematic cells of A. cepa treated with genotoxic extract of Phaulopsis falcisepala .…”
