Events associated with the release from dominance are described for internodes 1 and 2 of the axillary buds of Pisum sativum. During the inhibited state, most of the nuclei are found in the G1 phase of a diploid cycle. At the release from dominance, some nuclei in the G2 phase during inhibition enter into mitosis and the nuclei in G1 enter into the DNA synthetic phase. Until the 3rd day, a homogeneous reaction is registered for the whole of the two first internodes. Three maxima of mitotic activity are detected in the epidermis, the cortex, and the procambium and only one in the pith. From the 3rd day, the mitoses are localized at the uppermost part of these internodes: meanwhile, elongation occurs in their basal portion. At this level, the nuclear volumes are maximal at the 6th day. After release from apical dominance, the increase in DNA content reflects the resumption of the mitotic cycle and, subsequently, the onset of differentiation, with 4C level nuclei in the cortex and 8C nuclei in the pith. The cell growth of the epidermis, the cortex, and the pith, either radial or tangential, precedes the elongation phase.

The mitotic activity and chromosomal behaviour was observed in four different concentrations of magnesium sulphate at four different duration of treatment using Allium cepa as a biological system. Mito-inhibitory effect of the compound was observed in higher concentration. The compound was capable of producing various chromosomal abnormalities indicating the cytostatic and clastogenic properties of magnesium sulphate. Key words: Allium cepa, magnesium sulphate, mitotic index, phase indices.doi: 10.3126/eco.v15i0.1947 ECOPRINT 15: 83-88, 2008

rRNA gene transcription rates were determined during light-mediated leaf development in Pisum sativum. The rate of transcription was observed to increase within 1 day of exposure to light and return to control levels 4 days after exposure. A striking similarity was observed between periods of elevated rRNA gene transcription and increased mitotic activity, suggesting a possible link between the two events.

Aim. To study the possibility of bystander effect inducing in the joint germination in a common aqueous environment of irradiated and non-irradiated seeds. Methods. Cytogenetic methods including mitotic activity level estimation, accounting for the number of nucleoli, and methods for statistical analysis of the data. Results. The effect of radiation stimulation with a dose of 40 Gy was dependent on the variety, and the effect of gamma radiation at a dose of 200 Gy reduced the level of mitotic activity in comparison with the control in both varieties. Mitotic indices increase in the meristem of non-irradiated seeds while growing with irradiated one. Conclusions. The bystander effect is formed on the organismic level under condition of growing of irradiated and non-irradiated seeds in a common aquatic environment and it is ma-nifested as an increase in the level of meristem cells proliferation and in the intensification of synthetic processes. The addition of irradiated with a high dose of gamma radiation seeds to the non-irradiated seeds induces an increase in mitotic activity largely than the addition of seeds irradiated with a relatively small dose. Keywords: bystander effect, radiation stimulation, mitotic activity, nucleoli.
