Toxicity Analysis of Hybrid Nanodiamond/Fe₃O₄ Nanoparticles on Allium cepa L

Figure 4

Representative images showing different chromosomal aberrations observed in Allium cepa. Footnote: Allium cepa root meristematic cells under control ((a)–(d)) and exposed to various concentrations of cobalt oxide ((d)–(g)) and cND-Fe3O4 ((h)–(k)). A = prophase; B = metaphase; C = anaphase; D = telophase; E = chromosomal break; F=cytoplasmic bridge; G = disturbed anaphase; H= laggard; I = sticky anaphase; J = scattered anaphase; K = prophase nuclei with micronucleus in interphase; L = binucleate cells.
