Cytotoxicity Analysis of Azadirachta indica (A. Juss) and Mimosa pudica L. leaf extract on Allium cepa cells
C- metaphase, Ball metaphase, nuclear lesions, multiple bridge formation
Mimosa pudica L. and Azadirachta indica (A. Juss) are two medicinally important plants used in different systems of medicine. At the same time, both the plants are used as insecticide also. Therefore, an attempt was done to identify the cytotoxic effects of the plants. The leaf extract of both plants was used to study the effects on mitotic cycle by using Allium cepa root tip cells. Different chromosomal abnormalities like chromosome clumping, lagging chromosomes, nuclear lesions, ball metaphase, bridge formation, misorientation of chromosomes etc. were observed. Also, the rate of mitotic activity was decreasing with increase in concentration of extract. The properties exhibited by these plants could be utilised for further medical applications like cancer treatments.
