On the effects of secretions of saprophytic bacteria on the course of mitosis in adventitious roots of Allium cepa L.

Abstract


The influence of 21 strains of saprophytic bacteria isolated from onion cultures on the course of mitosis and on the level of chromosome aberrations in adventitious roots of Allium cepa L. was studied. Liquid cultures of all bacterial strains caused no changes in divisions of the cells. However, ten of the strains were responsible for disturbances in this process. The nature of these disturbances depended to a large extent on the kind of medium in which the bacteria were grown.
