The cyto-genotoxic potential of fungicide Dithane M-45 on the root meristem cells of Tulipa praestans Hoog. cv. ï¿Unicum� and antimicrobial effects on some bacterial strains were investigated for concentrations lower than those currently used in agricultural practice. The results indicate a stimulating effect of the treatments with this fungicide on mitotic division, associated with a higher frequency of chromosomal aberrations for all concentrations tested, and for all root harvesting periods. The high sensitivity of root meristem cells of Tulipa praestans cv. �Unicum� to the fungicide action suggest the potential of this species to be used as a plantsystem for detecting the mutagenicity and genotoxicity, mainly the clastogenic and aneugenic effects, of various chemicals. However, only a slight antibacterial effect against the tested bacteria was observed in the paper disc and agar well diffusion assays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
