Abstract: Cytogenetic effects of 48Titanium (48Ti) on meristematic cells of root tips belonging to the plant (Lens culinaris Medik.) have been Investigated. Seeds of the plant, prepared were kept in 48Ti standart for different time period as control during 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours. Seeds treated with 48Ti were made sprout and the root tips obtained were prepared for microscopic examination. At the end of the microscopic examinations, some abnormalities as chromosome breakings, chromosome dispersion, bridge chromosome, chromosome adherence, ring chromosome were observed. Abnormalities were seen at each treatment depended on the time periods. Variety and number of abnormality were usually seen to be increasing, depending on the increase of treatment time. The results obtained were evaluated statistically.1Biology Department, Science and Art Faculty, Celal Bayar University, Manisa, Turkey 2Chemistry Department, Science and Art Faculty, Celal Bayar University, Manisa, Turkey 3Mathematic Department, Science and Art Faculty, Celal Bayar University, Manisa, Turkey *Corresponding author’s e-mail: cozdemir13@gmail.com |
