Abstract

The time course and concentration dependence of mitotic index decrease was studied in squashes of root tips ofVieia faba L. treated with 9-(RS)-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) adonine. The appearance of lobate nuclei and binucleate cells was confirmed, using the mentioned procedure. It was proved that the substance under study is not a clastogen. In electronmicrographs no disintegration of cell structure was seen even after long exposure to the drug, but particular organelles were altered. The results are discussed from the viewpoints of cell pharmacology and cell pathology.
