Title: Study on the effect of hydrogen peroxide on micronucleus rates in root tip cells of Vicia faba
Abstract: Objective:The mutation function of hydrogen peroxide solution was studied in this paper.Methods:Micronucleus test of Vicia faba root tip cells was adopted.Results:In the range of 0.048%~1.50%,the root tip cells MCN‰ of Vicia faba increased at first and then decreased as the hydrogen peroxide concentration increasing.The root tip cells MCN‰ of Vicia faba which was induced by hydrogen peroxide separately whose concentration was 0.24%,and the one which induced by hydrogen peroxide and cyclophoshomide are the highest,the micronucleus rates are 36.47‰ and 41.17‰,respectively.Conclusion:Hydrogen peroxide can accelerate the mutation of root tip cells micronucleus of Vicia faba in a certain range.
