Abstract
The roots ofAllium cepa L. were treated with water solutions of cyanein and griseofulvin for 24 and 48 h respectively, thereafter cultured for 48 h in the medium without the antibiotics, and the reversibility of the inhibition caused by the antibiotics was evaluated. Changes in the mitotic index of meristematic cells were followed in squash preparations of root apices. In addition to the cytologic observations, the differentiation of the primary meristem was followed in longitudinal sections. After the treatment with reversible doses of cyanein and griseofulvin respectively, differences were found in both the effects of the antibiotics during the treatment and the restoration of the inhibited processes after the treatment. In the cells treated with cyanein the restoration of mitotic activity was instantaneous but less intensive and in|complete especially in the case of the 48 h treatment. After the treatment with griseofulvin which temporarily interfered also with the differentiation of the primary meristem, the restoration of the inhibited processes was delayed but intensive after both application times, 48 h after the treatment no symptoms of the preceding inhibition could be observed.
