Glifosatın Allium cepa Üzerine Toksik Etkilerinin Araştırılması
Bu çalışmada, Glifosatın Allium cepa L. (Amaryllidaceae) üzerine toksik etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla çimlenme yüzdesi, kök uzunluğu, ağırlık kazancı, malondialdehit (MDA) düzeyi, mikronukleus sıklığı (MN), kromozomal anormallikler (CAs) ve mitotik indeks (MI) parametreleri toksisite indikatörü olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu parametrelere ilave olarak glifosat uygulanmış A. cepa’da kök anatomisindeki değişimler de araştırılmıştır. Glifosat uygulamasında 100, 250 ve 500 mg l -1 olmak üzere üç farklı doz kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak glifosat uygulanan gruplarda çimlenme yüzdesi, kök uzunluğu, ağırlık kazancı, malondialdehit düzeyi, mikronuklues sıklığı, kromozomal anormallikler ve mitotik indeks parametrelerinde doza bağlı olarak önemli değişimler saptanmıştır. Tüm uygulama gruplarında glifosat uygulaması ile çimlenme yüzdesinin, kök uzunluğunun ve ağırlık kazancının azaldığı belirlenmiştir (P<0.05). MN ve CAs oluşumunda ise artış kaydedilmiştir (P<0.05). Ayrıca glifosatın mitozu baskılayıcı etkiye sahip olduğu ve glifosat uygulaması ile mitotik indeksinde doza bağlı olarak azaldığı görülmüştür (P<0.05). Bununla birlikte 100, 250 ve 500 mg l -1 glifosat uygulamalarının lipit peroksidasyonunu önemli derecede hızlandırdığı ve tüm doz uygulamalarında MDA seviyelerinde artışa neden olduğu belirlenmiştir (P<0.05). Bununla birlikte ışık mikrograflarından belirsiz vaskuler doku ve epidermis tabakası, hücre deformasyonu, anormal nucleus (genellikle düz), ve binükleer hücre gibi anatomik hasarların meydana geldiği gözlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar ile her bir glifosat doz uygulamasının A. cepa hücreleri üzerine farklı toksik etkiler gösterdiği ve en güçlü toksik etkinin 500 mg l -1 doz uygulamasında oluştuğu gözlenmiştir.
Investigation of Toxic Effects of the Glyphosate on Allium cepa
In the present study, toxic effects of glyphosate on Allium cepa L. (Amaryllidaceae) cells were investigated. For this aim, we used the germination percentage, root length, seedling weight, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, frequency of micronucleus (MN), chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and mitotic index (MI) as indicators of toxicity. In addition to the analyses mentioned above, we also examined changes in the root anatomy of A. cepa seeds treated with glyphosate. Glyphosate was applied with three different doses (100, 250 and 500 mg l -1). The results showed significant alterations in the germination percentage, root length, seedling weight, MDA level, MN, CAs and MI frequency depending on treatment doses in the glyphosate treated groups. Glyphosate-exposure significantly reduced the germination percentage, root length and seedling weight in all the treatment groups (P<0.05). But, an increase in the MN and CAs formation (P<0.05) was observed. It was also found that glyphosate has a mitodepressive action on mitosis, and the MI was decreased depending on the dose of applied-glyphosate (P<0.05). Besides, 100, 250 and 500 mg l -1 doses of glyphosate significantly enhanced the lipid peroxidation and caused an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels at each dose treatment (P<0.05). Moreover, light micrographs showed anatomical damages such as unclear vascular tissue, unclear epidermis layer, cell deformation, unusual form of cell nucleus (usually flat) and binuclear cells. Each dose of glyphosate caused severe toxic effects on A. cepa cells and the strongest toxic effect was observed at the dose level of 500 mg l -1.
