The results showed that the forms of cytogenetic damage at various division stages were different from each other. Most of the abnormal cells at interphase were micronucleus (MCN) and nuclear buds. The cells with one or more aberrations, such as MCN and chromosomal aberrations (CA) including chromosome segment, laggards and stickiness, were also obtained in split cells. The results also showed that the MCN frequencies at interphase and the frequencies of cells with CA at mitosis were significantly increased in the bisulfite groups, and more abnormal cells were easy to be observed. It was suggested that the derivatives of SO 2 were chromosome clastogen and V. faba root tips could be used to monitor SO 2 pollutant in the environment. Tab 6, Ref 13Read More
