Abstract

The effect of Actinomycin-D was studied on chiasma frequency in Vicia faba (var. Weibull's Akerabona). A significant decrease in chiasma frequency over control was observed in all cases irrespective of the time of fixation and chemical concentration. However, the maximum decrease was found in the material fixed after a recovery period of 24 hours. The decrease in chiasma frequency showed a linear relationship with time of recovery. Besides reduction in the chiasma frequency, cells showing complete failure of homologous pairing were also observed. These findings are discussed in the light of actinomycin-D action.
