Abstract
The effect of Ca(No3)24H2O and CaCl2 salt solutions were studied on the chromosome of Allium cepa roots. The effects were found to be pronounced in higher concentrations even after 24 hrs. The same results were found in case of lower concentrations but only after longer laps of time period. It was noted that coiling pattern of chromosomes had some relationship with calcium ion concentration in the solution.
