The effect of herbicide "Chwastox płynny 30" on the cell cycle parameters in root meristem of Vicia faba L. subsp. minor.
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.
