Summary:The analysis of some cytogenetic parameters shows that the caffeine application on Anethumgraveolens L. species induced a light mutagen effect on the cells of the root apex. At the same time is an accumulation ofcells with aberrations in ana-telophases, especially ana-telophase with lagging and expulsed chromosomes but also inmetaphases (metaaphases with expulsed chromosomes, C-metaphases and picnotic chromosomes) demonstrating theperturbations of mitotic spindle function after treatment with caffeine.
