The anatomical definition, antimicrobial, and antimutagenic activity of Turgenia latifolia (L.) Hoffm. (Apiaceae) were investigated in this research. The root cortex region of the plant is quite narrow and the cambium has 3-4 layers. Epidermis contains non-glandular trichrome in stem and leaf. Numerous secretory channels and collenchyma cells were reported in the stem cortex. Cells of palisade parenchyma were present on both sides of the leaf. Cells of spongy parenchyma were reduced to a thin layer in the center of the mesophyll and had 1-2 layers. Stomata were anomocytic. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the methanolic leaf extract of T. latifolia were investigated against some Salmonella typhi, Proteus vulgaris, Enterobacter aerogenes) and yeast (Candida albicans). The extract exhibited varying degrees of inhibitory effects on the growth of the different pathogenic strains. In addition, methanol leaf extract of T. latifolia (TLm) was analyzed for mutagenic activity. The results showed that TLm exhibited antimutagenic activity at concentrations of 10, 25 and 50 mu L.
