Cytological Effects of Pesticides
The effects of the herbicides monochloroacetic (MCA) and trichloroacetic (TCA) acids were studied on the meiosis and pollen viability of Vicia faba plants. The plants were sprayed at the seedling and flowering stages. The used concentration was 0.05mg/ml for the two agents. Both MCA and TCA affected...

| Zusammenfassung: | The effects of the herbicides monochloroacetic (MCA) and trichloroacetic (TCA) acids were studied on the meiosis and pollen viability of Vicia faba plants. The plants were sprayed at the seedling and flowering stages. The used concentration was 0.05mg/ml for the two agents. Both MCA and TCA affected a significant percentage of abnormal PMC's/plant. The most dominant types of abnormalities were: Lagging chromosomes, stickiness and fragmentation of the chromosomes, pentads at TII were observed after the treatments with TCA. Both agents showed a slight effect on pollen viability. |
