Determination of the Genotoxicity of the Soil in the Aydın Region Irrigated by Büyük Menderes River by the Allium Test System
Abstract
Nowadays, one of the most important problems is environmental pollution. Environmental pollution in the Büyük Menderes River-basin, which is one of the agricultural fields in Turkey, has reached important dimensions. B. Menderes River which waters B. Menderes River-basin and fields around it is contaminated by various sources.
In this study the genotoxicity of the soil samples taken from three different regions in two different months (September 2006 and March 2007) in the Aydın region of B. Menderes River-basin was researched with the Allium test.
The soil samples were taken from the lands watered by the B. Menderes River and Çine Stream; the fields near the B. Menderes Bridge (on the Muğla main road), the Çine Stream, and the Koçarlı Bridge in September and March. 25%, 50%, 100% concentrations were prepared diluting these samples and onions (Allium cepa L.) were rooted. At the end of the studies, the decrease in the mitotic index was found to be statistically important according to the control in all the doses except 25% of the Çine doses in September and March.
The study soil samples taken from the three different regions in two different months caused structural chromosomal aberrations such as anaphase bridge, fragment, stickiness, and polar deviation in the Allium cepa L. root tip cells. It has been emphasized that the difference in all the doses except for 25% Menderes, 25% Koçarlı, 50% doses in September and 25% Çine, 25% Menderes, 25%, 25% Koçarlı, Koçarlı, 50% doses in March are important according to the control in the total chromosomal aberrations.
