“…A number of plant bioassays have been identified for in situ environmental monitoring (Uhl et al 2003). The most common assays used for studying mutagenicity of various pollutants in plants are based on the detection of chromosomal aberrations in Allium cepa (Fiskesjo 1985), Tradescantia (Ichikawa 1992), Vicia faba (Kanaya et al 1994) plants are suitable for cytological analysis, and responses seen in plant tests are highly correlated with those seen in other biological systems, making the plant test good for evaluating the genotoxicity of environmental samples (Grant 1999, Sadowska et al 2001. Genotoxicity of herbicides has been reported by several researchers in several plants, such as by Boyle and Evans (1974) in Secale-cereale L., Tartar et al (2006) in Allium cepa L and Allium sativum L, and by Mansour (1984) in Vicia faba.…”

Summary Genotoxicological biomonitoring of Vigna mungo populations in the Banda district in Uttar Pradesh, sprayed with the herbicides glyphosate and pendimethalin, was done by studying their meiotic behavior and morphological characters and comparing them with untreated populations.The herbicides caused a change in the frequency of different meiotic phases at a given time, and also induced various anomalies. Disturbed polarity, spindle disturbance, bridges, and laggards were common in both the populations. Micronuclei were found in a large number of cells. Pollen fertility was less in the glyphosate-treated group as compared to the pendimethalin-treated and control groups. A comparative account of the correlation between percentage anomaly and pollen fertility as indicators of genotoxicity of the two herbicides has been described in this paper.

“…Potential genotoxicity was evaluated by the means of Allium and Vicia Root Tip Assays (RTA) according to Fiskesjo (1985) and Kanaya et al (1994) respectively, with tap water as control. Anaphase and telophase aberrations (AAT) were observed in 100 anaphase and telophase cells of root meristems of Allium cepa (cv.…”

Phytotoxicity and potential genotoxicity of Radiowo municipal landfi ll leachate. The most common method of municipal solid waste disposal is storing at landfi lls. Many hazardous substances are present in garbage and some more are formed during degradation. They may be assimilated by numerous organisms, pass through the food chain and bioaccumulate by long-term exposure in animals and humans. Therefore it seems an important tusk to monitor the toxic and genotoxic potential of municipal landfi ll leachates, which may contaminate waters and soils. Higher plants provide a very useful, uncomplicated and inexpensive tool for fi rst-step screening of environmental pollutants. The objective of our study was to evaluate the phytotoxicity and potential genotoxicity of Radiowo municipal landfi ll leachate by the means of plant bioassays and to preliminary valuate the effi ciency of zeolite as a leachate purifi er. Phytotoxicity was assessed by the Allium cepa Root Elongation Bioassay and genotoxicity by the means of Allium and Vicia Root Tip Assays (RTA). Results were subjected to the F-test for the two way analysis of variance (ANOVA 2) and subsequently the Tukey's test, with statistical signifi cance set at p = 0.05. Applied plant bioassays indicated signifi cant phytotoxicity and potential genotoxicity of Radiowo landfi ll leachate The process of zeolite fi ltration did not eliminate, but evidently decreased phytotoxicity. It did not cause signifi cant change in genotoxic potential of 100% leachate, but resulted in its more rapid decrease in a concentration dependent manner.
