%0 Journal Article %T INFLUENCE OF SODIUM PHOSPHATE (E 339) ON MITOTIC DIVISION IN TRIGONELLA FOENUM - GRAECUM L. %A Romeo-Cristian Marc %A Gabriela Capraru %J Analele £¿tiin£¿ifice Ale Universit£¿£¿ii Alexandru Ioan Cuza din Ia£¿i,Sectiunea II A : Genetica si Biologie Moleculara %D 2008 %I Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi %X 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. %U http://www.gbm.bio.uaic.ro/index.php/gbm/article/view/571
