The effects of Tonifruit on the mitotic division,
chromosomes and nuclear DNA amount have been investigated in Vicia faba L. 300 ppm, 600 ppm and 900 ppm of
Tonifruit doses were applied to V. faba
roots for 6 and 24 hour periods.
It
was obseıved that the substance caused a decrease in mitotic index when
compared to the control group. It was also observed that this substance caused
abnormalities on chromosomes such as C-metaphases, anaphase bridges. breakages,
stickiness and fragments. In conclusion. different doses and period of
Tonifruit treatment of the roots of V. faba
increased the nuclear DNA amönııt wlıen, compared to control the control group.
Key Words: Tonifruit, mitotic division, Vicia faba L.
