title: The effect of herbicide "Chwastox płynny 30" on the cell cycle parameters in root meristem of Vicia faba L. subsp. minor.
abstract: The duration of the cell cycle and its phases after the treatment with herbicide "Chwastox płynny 30" was calculated using 3H-thymidine labelling method. Inhibition of DNA synthesis and marked prolongation of G2 + 1/2 M phase were observed. Tested herbicide caused a significant lowering in the mitotic activity and accumulation of metaphase cells.
