Abstract excerpt
Crepis capillaris (2n=6) is an excellent plant for the assay of chromosome aberrations after mutagenic treatment. It has simple karyotype: three pairs of morphologically distinct and relatively large chromosomes. The frequency of structural chromosome aberrations and micronuclei in root meristem cells has been used for evaluation of the genotoxicity of chemicals and environmental pollutants. The introduction of...
