Effect of Tobacco Smoke Solution on Mitotic Abnnormalities in Root Tip Cells of Allium cepa L.

양파 근단 세포의 유사분열에 미치는 담배연기 수용액의 영향

The present work was conducted to examine the effect of tobacco smoke solution, and its components such as nicotine and catechol treated separately on the root tip cells of Allium cepa L The mitotic abnormalities in root tip cells treated with those three components were increased linearly, while the mitotic index was decreased following concentrations of the components. Chromosomal abnormalities showed 29.7%, 15.8% and 13.0% in the treatment of tobacco smoke solution, nicotine, and catechol, respectively. The abonormalities were included polyploid, c-mitosis, stickness at metaphase, laggard, bridge formation at anaphase or telophase, and micronucleus, abnormal nucleus at interphase, after the treatment of the components for 24 hours. hours.

담배연기 수용성 물질 및 그 추출성분인 니코틴과 카테콜이 식물의 근단세포에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 양파(allium cepa L.)의 근단에 처리한 결과 식물세포에 유독한 영향을 미쳤으며 농도가 높을수록 염색체 이상은 증가하는 반면 분열지수는 점점 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 염색체 이상은 중기에서 polyploid, c-mitosis, stickness, 후기나 말기에 laggard나 bridge, 중간기에 micronucleus나 abnormal nucleus 등이 나타났다. 이러한 성분들을 각각 24시간 처리하였을 때 담배연기 수용액은 29.7%, 니코틴 15.8%, 카테콜 13.0%으로 염색체 이상을 유발시켰다.
