THE EFFECTS ON ALLIUM CEPA OF X·RAY IRRADIATION
Abstract
The effects of severa/ doses of x - rays on Allium cepa, irradiated by 6 - 1J Gy, are described. The analyses were carried out on 2,000 cells of the cell cycle and the main abnormalities seen in na optic microscope are shown, X - rays are very drastic mainly when its doses are increaed and we are able to see micronucleii, chromossomo bridges and deletion.
