The plant Ranunculus acris (L.) is widespread. It used in folk medicine. use of herbal medicines can have adverse effects on humans and requires studies raw materials for genotoxicity. goals the study were to examine toxic genotoxic aqueous solutions R. flowers at concentrations 0.625%, 1.25%, 2.5%, 5% 10% using Allium test determine numbers flavonoids polyphenols antioxidant activity extracts....

The laboratory mouse is recognized as the pre-eminent model for genetic research. Awareness of chromosomal patterns of experimental animals increases their value for a variety of different fields of study. We aimed to study mitotic chromosome preparations from NIH, C57BL/6 and Razi strains of mice, which are outbred, inbred and partially inbred laboratory mice respectively. Bone marrow cells we...

the spalacidae are southeast european and east mediterranean blind rodents, highly adapted for life underground. their taxonomy needs a modern revision including chromosomal data as well as morphology. mole rats of the family spalacidae range over turkey and approximately 30 karyotypes of nannospalax complex inhabit. the diploid number of chromosome of nannospalax ranges from 36 to 62. also, fu...

Morphological analysis of mitotic chromosomes is used to detect mutagenic chemical compounds and to estimate the dose of ionizing radiation to be administered. It has long been believed that chromosomal breaks are always associated with double-strand breaks (DSBs). We here provide compelling evidence against this canonical theory. We employed a genetic approach using two cell lines, chicken DT4...

In the current investigation, karyotype analysis and chromosome characteristics of six populations of Calendula officinalis L.(pot marigold) from Iran are studied. Results showed that all populations were diploid (2n= 2x= 32), and had symmetrical karyotypes composing mainly of metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes. The mean chromosome length ranged from 1.05 in Karaj to 1.50 μm in...

The rising global demand for palm oil and its associated products has led to increased numbers of palm oil refineries with its attendant effluent discharge. Many researches have confirmed the ecological disruptive potentiality of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), still further attention has to be directed at POME’s potential genotoxicity. The present study has made physico-chemical and genotoxicit...
