Effect of Pesticides on Sister-Chromatid Exchange and Micronuclei Frequency of Garlic Root Tip Cells / 环境与健康杂志

Objective The effect of the pesticides on sister-chromatid exchange and micronuclei frequency of garlic root tip cells was researched. Methods The garlic root tips were treated with 13.65 mg/L phoxim, 25 mg/L lambda-cyhalothrin respectrely.With the positive and negative control, the garlic root tips were treated with 2%CP and distilled water respectively. Sister-chromatid exchange(SCE) and micronucle(iMCN)frequencies were calculated. Results As for the SCE frequency,lambda-cyhalothrin was the same as the negative control, metaldehyde and phoxim were more than the negative control (P
