In the present study, its effects on seed germination, radicle length and cytogenetic alterations were investigated in <span class="s1">P. sativum </span>root tip cells. <span class="s1">P. sativum</span> seeds were germinated after treating with various concentrations of BPA (2 mg/L, 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 15 mg/L, 20 mg/L and 25 mg/L) at 24±1°C for 72 hours and the cytogenetic variations were assessed. The investigation showed that BPA reduced the percentage of seed germination, mitotic index, radicle length (at higher concentrations) and instigated a rise in chromosomal anomalies in a dose-related manner. In total, there is an enhanced occurrence of c-mitosis, stickiness, bridges, fragments and laggards in the BPA treated root tip cells of <span class="s1">P. sativum </span>seeds.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Caryologia}, author={Siddiqui, Sazada and Abdurahamn Muhammad Al Amri, Saad and Ahmed Al Ghamdy, Huda and Saad Saeed Alqahtani, Wadha and Mohammed Alquyr, Sarah and Merghani Yassin, Habab}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={103–109} }
