Abstract

The present work provides a comparative account of cytological effect of mutagens on two plant models Pisum sativum L . and Hordeum vulgare L . Both UV radiations and chemical mutagens induce chromosomal anomalies at various dose and concentrations respectively. Varieties of anomalies were seen in H. vulgare as compared to P. sativum . In general, the anomalies increased as the concentration of the mutagen increased.
