Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Cyanamide decreased the root growth rate of onion.
- Intervention effect Cyanamide decreased the accumulation of fresh and dry weight of onion roots.
- Intervention effect Removal of cyanamide from the environment reversed its inhibitory effect on onion roots.
- Observation Full recovery of onion roots was observed only after treatment with cyanamide at low concentration (2-6 mM).
- Mechanism Disturbances in cell division may explain the allelopathic activity of cyanamide on onion.
- Intervention effect Cyanamide reduced the number of mitotic cells in onion roots.
- Intervention effect Cyanamide inhibited proliferation of meristematic cells and the cell cycle in onion roots.
- Intervention effect Cyanamide modified the cytoskeleton arrangement in onion roots.
