Annotation | With the purpose of idintification of possible moutagenous action of 70 and 40 % aqueous-alcoholic extracts of seven Ericaceae family plants was investigated their influence on a mitotic cycle, frequency of chromosomal aberrations in Allium cepa meristem cells. It is set that aqueous-alcoholic extracts stimulated Allium cepa root growth. A different genetic activity of the investigated extracts is set depending on their concentration. In all breeds 70 % aqueous-alcoholic extracts of Ericaceae plants stimulated mitotic activity. Being bred (1:128) the 40 % investigated plants extracts (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi(L.) Spreng., Rhododendron kotsсhyi Simonk.) activated the division of test object meristemic cells. 70 and 40 % aqueous-alcoholic extracts of Vaccinium uliginosum (L.), Arctostaphylos uva-ursi(L.) Spreng., Rhododendron kotsсhyi Simonk., 70 % extracts of Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull.,Vaccinium myrtillus (L.) (in breeding 1:128) decreased a number of anomalous mitozes and normalized the correlation of cells in the varies mitozes phases. So, investigated extracts can have antimutagenic action. |
