Urea, Genotoxicity, Micronuclei, Chromosomal abnormalities, Channa punctatus

Urea, a common fertilizer used to supplement soil with nitrogen, induced 1.33%, 1.60%, and 1.83% of micronuclei and 21.6%,24.0% and 26.0% of chromosomal abnormalities upon three different doses.The frequency of abnormalities increased with increase of doses. Polyploidy and aneuploidy were common among gross,while acentric fragments, minute fragments, chromatid breaks were more common among individual type of abnormalities.The individual type of damages were more prominent than gross type. This might be due to the formation of electrophilic radicals / ions during the metabolization of mutagens that attack the nucleophlic site of DNA leading to structural changes in chromosomes.
