Summary: | This paper includes the cytogenetic effects induced by sodium phosphate (E 339) food additive in
meristematic cells of Trigonella foenum - graecum L. root tips. The increase of food additive concentration determined
the decrease of mitotic index, while the frequency and the type of chromosome aberrations are much greater in treated
variants, comparatively with control. |
