Abstract

The present study was conducted to understanding effects of gamma radiation on mitosis. Seeds of Phlox drummondii were irradiated with five doses viz. 5kR, 10kR, 15 kR, 20kR and 25kR of gamma rays and studied of effects on mitosis. Various type Chromosomal aberrations were displayed like, dicentric, tricentric, translocation, deletion, fragment, ring, minute, bridge and micronucleus in treated root tip mitosis. Chromosomal aberrations were found to be correlated with dose. The maximum frequency of Chromosomal abnormalities was in 25kR.
