Abstract
EVALUATION OF THE CYTOGENETIC RESPONSE OF ANTIRRHINUM MAJUS L. UNDER INFLUENCE OF POLLUTED WATER

Elena Bonciu*

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the cytogenetic response of the Antirrhinum majus L. species treated with polluted water from the Jiu river, in which is discharged the wastewater from Oltenia region, Craiova city (Romania). The seeds of A. majus L. were exposed to action of the polluted water for 72 hours, after which the meristematic roots were processed for cytogenetic study, together with the control exposed to action of distilled water. The obtained results showed a strong mitodepressive effect of the polluted water, intensity of mitotic activity being decreased by 47.40% compared with the untreated control, which indicates its strong cytotoxic effect. Also, the occurrence of several types of cytological anomalies was observed, the most frequent being sticky chromosomes, ring-type chromosomes, C-mitosis and nuclear alteration. The results suggest the potential of A. majus L. to be used as a test plant for assessing and monitoring water quality.

Keywords: A. majus L., polluted water, cytogenetic, mitodepresive.
