Abstract:

Slight differences P0.05 were found in the number of spherical chromosomal fragments observed in the experimental and control groups of microspores, the greater number being among the experimentals. It was also observed that specimens vibrated for a short period 3 minutes exhibited larger effects than those vibrated for longer periods of time 15-60 minutes. No significant impairments of the mitotic mechanism or growth disturbances were observed. Further experimentation is indicated in which Tradescantia microspores would be subjected to periodic and random vibrations of higher frequencies 100-2000 Hz and accelerations up to 110 g. Author
