Abstract
The in vivo phytotoxicity of Romanian caraway (Carum carvi) fruits was assayed by Triticum aestivum L. test. We studied the effects of methanolic caraway fruit extracts upon germination, elongation and accumulation of dry biomass in the plants; in addition, it was investigated the influence of the extracts on mythosis in root tissues. The caraway extracts did not inhibit root and shoot elongation of Triticum aestivum plants, but enhanced seedling growth, as revealed by the increase of root and shoot length (up to 11.05%) and dry biomass (up to 15.81%). The frequency of chromosomal aberrations observed in root meristems varied slightly around the percentage of the control. The investigated caraway fruit extracts did not have phytotoxic effects but had a slight stimulating effect on germination and growth of Triticum aestivum L. Rezumat Toxicitatea fructelor de chimion (Carum carvi) de proveniența româneasca a fost determinata in vivo utilizând ca organism test Triticum aestivum L. A fost studiat efectul extractelor metanolice obținute din fructele de chimion asupra germinarii, dezvoltarii și acumularii de biomasa uscata in plantulele de grâu; de asemenea, a fost analizata influența acestor extracte asupra diviziunii celulare la nivelul meristemelor radiculare. Extractele de chimion nu au inhibat creșterea in lungime a radacinii și tulpinii plantulelor de Triticum aestivum, ci au stimulat dezvoltarea acestora, fapt demonstrat de o creștere a lungimii radacinii și tulpinii cu pâna la 11,05% și a acumularii de biomasa uscata cu pâna la 15,81%, comparativ cu martorul. De asemenea, frecvența aberațiilor cromozomiale de la nivelul meristemelor radiculare a variat nesemnificativ, fiind similara cu cea a martorului. Analiza extractelor din fructele de chimion a relevat faptul ca acestea nu prezinta efecte fitotoxice, ci au un ușor efect stimulator in ceea ce privește germinarea și creșterea plantulelor de Triticum aestivum L.
