The A. cepa root tips were exposed to 6 different concentrations (1–100 mg L−1) of PFOS for 48 h. Reduction in mitotic index and chromosomal aberrations was measured as genotoxic endpoints in meristematic root cells. Exposure to PFOS significantly affected cell division by reducing the miotic index at higher concentrations (>10 mg L−1). The median effect concentration of PFOS to elicit cytotoxicity based on the mitotic index was 43.2 mg L−1. Exposure to PFOS significantly increased chromosomal aberrations at concentrations >25 mg L−1. The common aberrations were micronuclei, vagrant cells, and multipolar anaphase. The alkaline comet assay revealed a genotoxic potential of PFOS with increased tail DNA percentage at concentrations >25 mg L−1. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the cyto-genotoxic potential of PFOS in higher plants.]]> Fri 07 Oct 2022 14:28:51 AEDT ]]>
