Abstract
The root tip cell of Allium cepa was treated with three kinds of colchicine at different concentrations. The results showed that colchicine could reduce the mitotic index of root tip cell of Allium cepa, promote the swelling of root tip, result in the doubling of chromosome and induce the cell aberration.
