Abstract:
Cationic (MnSO4.H2O) and anionic (KMnO4) manganese salts in aqueous solutions enhanced the frequency of chromosomal aberrations including both chromosome- and chromatid-type breaks, gaps, translocations and spindle disturbances in different plant systems in vivo to a statistically significant level. The activity of the cationic salt was more drastic, particularly on the submerged plant studied (Vallisneria spiralis L.), on prolonged exposure, when compared with bulbs of Allium cepa L. and seeds of Pisum sativum L.
