From the data gathered it may concluded that: 1) There are neither quantitative nor qualitative differences in chromosome breaking activity between the two chemicals.2) Vicia faba is more sensitive than Allium cepa to the cytological effect of monocrotaline; namely the percentage of abnormal anaphases and the frequency of fragments per cell are four times higher in Vicia than in Allium.3) The radiomimetic effect of monocrotaline is clearly temperature dependent, but the temperature does not seem to influence any one aberration in a particular way.Read More
