Effect of cyclophosphamide on meristematic plant cells

Maria Podbielkowska, Maria Nowaczek

The action of cyclophosphamide on meristematic plant cells was checked. A mitostatic influence of this preparation was observed, by way of DNA synthesis inhibition. The disturbance in the course of mitosis is described and the characteristic changes in the structure of the ergastoplasm, analogous to those elicited by respiratory inhibitors.
