Although the micronucleus assay with Vicia faba root tip cells is a canonical way to detect the genotox￣icity of environmental pollutants, there are still some important issues that are worth in￣depth discussion and inves￣tigation in its methodology. After illustrating how to correctly observe the micronucleus and chromosome aberra￣tions, including chromosome fragment, chromosome loss and chromosome bridge, in the Viciafabaroot tip cells we suggested that the dividing￣phase cells and their chromosome aberrations should been taken account o...
