Influence of hydroxyurea on cell divisions and microtubular cytoskeleton in Allium cepa root meristem
In onion roots, hydroxyurea (HU) causes a gradual depression of mitotic activity which ceases after 24-36 hrs. The effect is reversible; divisions begin after several hours of recovery and after 12-14 hrs about 90% cells undergo mitosis. Mitotic activity commences in the distal region of the apical...
