dc.description.abstractThe present study assessed the utility of Allium cepa based cyto-genotoxicity bioassays in evaluating the arsenic toxicity and remediation potential of Pteris vittata on contaminated soil of Lakhimpur-Kheri district. Untreated and P. vittata treated soil extracts were used for cyto-genotoxicity tests in A. cepa. Results showed that P. vittata extracted high concentration of arsenic, which ranged from 220 to 1420 mgkg?1 in different soils. Cyto-genotoxic assessment of A. cepa showed that extract of P. vittata treated soil had lower cyto-genotoxic effects as compared to untreated soil. A higher mitotic index (10%) while lower mitotic depression (29%), relative abnormality rate (10%), chromosomal aberrations (1%) and micronuclei (2%) were detected in root meristematic cells of A. cepa exposed to remediated soil extract in comparison to untreated soil. The studies provide a simple, rapid and economic cyto-genotoxicity bioassay tool for evaluating toxicity of contaminated soils of contaminated soils as well as revealed the phytoremdiation property of P. vittata against arsenic toxicity. � 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
