Özet

It is a true that heavy metals have an effect plant species like affecting all of the living organisms into the existing environments. Heavy metals have hazardous effects on living organism. Several plant species have been used bio-indicators in order to determine the effects on genetic toxicity of heavy metal pollution so far. The aim of this paper detects the effects of Mercury chloride (HgCl2) were investigated on genetic stability/ or DNA damage in maize seedlings. The results showed that all mercury doses used cause a decrease in the genomic template stability, while they cause an increase in the RAPDs profile changes (DNA damage).
