Bu çalışmada, Glifosatın Allium cepa L. (Amaryllidaceae) üzerine toksik etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla çimlenme yüzdesi, kök uzunluğu, ağırlık kazancı, malondialdehit (MDA) düzeyi, mikronukleus sıklığı (MN),kromozomal anormallikler (CAs) ve mitotik indeks (MI) parametreleri toksisite indikatörü olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu parametrelere ilave olarak glifosat uygulanmış A. cepa da kök anatomisindeki değişimler de araştırılmıştır. In the present study, toxic effects of glyphosate on Allium cepa L. (Amaryllidaceae) cells were investigated. For this aim, we used the germination percentage, root length, seedling weight, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, frequency of micronucleus (MN), chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and mitotic index (MI) as indicators of toxicity. In addition to the analyses mentioned above, we also examined changes in the root anatomy of A. cepa seeds treated with glyphosate.
