Effect of triazophos (an organophosphorous insecticide) on mitotic activity and chromosomal behavior in the meristematic region of root tip cells of Allium cepa L. was assessed. The insecticide showed mitotic depression and positive chromo-toxic effects. Abnormalities, such as stickiness, plasmolysed cells, equatorial plate shifting, polar shifting, irregular chromosome arrangement, precocious arms formation, bridge formation, C-metaphase, fragmentation of chromosomes, unequal cytokinesis, diagonal cytokinesis, delayed cytokinesis and formation of binucleated cells, were recorded in the chemically pretreated root meristem. Key-words: chromosomal and cellular abnormalities; cytotoxic effect; mitotic index; phase indices.DOI: 10.3126/botor.v6i0.2903 Botanica Orientalis - Journal of Plant Science (2009) 6: 4-7

A four-peaked diurnal rhythm in mitotic activity of dark-grown onion root-tip cells is initiated upon seed imbibition, damps rapidly and is lost within 5 days. It is abolished by continuous white fluorescent light, by continuous blue, green or red radiation, by low temperatures, high osmotica or anoxia. Photoperiodic light controls the well-known two-peaked persistent rhythm. The nature of the zeitgeber for either the inate or the photoperiodically-controlled rhythms is unknown.

3-Metoxycarbonylmethylbenzothiazolium bromide (MMB) influences the growth of the roots seedlings of Vicia sativa L. It stimulates growth within a broad concentration range of 10<sup>-13</sup>-10<sup>-7</sup> M, but inhibits growth at 10<sup>-3</sup> M and shows similar stimulating and inhibiting effects on the mitotic activity of root tip cells.

To help elucidate the origin of the B genome in polyploid wheats, karyotypes of Triticum turgidum, Triticum monoccum, and all six purported B genome donors were compared. The analysis utilized a common cytological procedure that employed the most advanced equipment for the measurement of chromosome lengths at metaphase in root tip cells. A comparison of the karyotypes of T. turgidum and T. monococcum permitted the identification of B genome chromosomes of T. turgidum. These consist of two SAT pairs, one ST pair, three SM pairs, and one M pair of homologues. Comparisons of the chromosomes of the B genome of T. turgidum with the karyotypes of the six putative B genome donors showed that only the karyotype of Aegilops searsii was similar to the one deduced for the donor of the B genome in T. turgidum, suggesting that Ae. searsii is, therefore, the most likely donor of the B genome to the polyploid wheats. Support for this conclusion has been derived from geographic, DNA-hybridization, karyotype, morphological, and protein data reported since 1977. Reasons why the B genome donor has not been unequivocally identified are discussed.Key words: phylogeny, karyotypes, Triticum turgidum, Triticum monococcum, B genome, B genome donors.
