  • Assessment of cytogenic hazard for plants caused by highway traffic = Ocena citogenetskega tveganja za rastline zaradi avtocestnega prometa
    Paradiž, Jasna ; Druškovič, Blanka
    Cytogenetic biomonitoring at experimental sites near some highways in Sloveniawas performed using onion plants as bioindicators of short-lasting in-situ exposure and naturally growing plants as ... bioindicators of long-lastingexposure to environmental pollution. A relationship was established between the duration of heavy traffic on particular road sections and the degree of damage to plant genetic material. The frequency of chromosomal aberrations in the onion was higher than in autochthonous plants, indicating its great sensitivity for the screening of clastogenicity of environmental influences. In spruce and other perennial plants growing spontaneously on experimental sites, cytogenetic damage increased in correlation with the duration of traffic, but only at sites with more than 20 years' traffic influence, indicating that plant sensitivity to environmental impact could usefully be applied to the continuous biomonitoring for hazard assessment in natural habitats.
