Abstract
Abstract Glyphosate, widely used herbicide, is considered harmful to the environment and human health. Its effects on growth rate and genotoxicity of Ipomoea aquatica were assessed in this work. The plants were grown in the soil which supplemented with glyphosate at 1- to 3-fold the recommended dose. After 30 days, lengths and dry weights of the roots and shoots were found to decrease in a concentration-dependent manner. The same was found for genotoxicity assessed via random amplified polymorphic DNA with genomic template stability tests, confirming the effects of glyphosate on the growth rate inhibition and DNA damage. The usefulness of the random amplified polymorphic DNA assay as ecotoxicological tool for assessing genotoxic effects in plants is demonstrated.
