country.
90% of the world's population use medicinal plants as
medicines
Plants have been used in treating human diseases for
thousands of years.
25% of modern pharmaceutical drugs contain plant
ingredients

5. Is an important medicinal plant and widely used around the
world .this is an annual erect plant reaches height 60-
125cm,branching ,cylindrical belw and four angled upwards,
ovate leave greenish yellow ,tingled purple in large leafy plant
It is known by different names such as kiratatikta , kandatikta
, bhoonimba , Tiktaka , Nilavepp.
it is an excellent the stomach and promoting the Action
remedy for strengthening
.It is used in the treatment of dyspepsia and diarrhea. It
stimulate the digestion and helps to normalize blood suger ,
which makes it useful for diabetics.
This herb reduce the sugar levels only when they are high,
Which lowers the risk of hypoglycemia. The bitterness of the
herb stimulates the saliva and gastric juices which help stop
nausea, bloating indigestion and hiccups.
About the plant
6. There are substances that can reduce the activity of
genotoxins. These are Antigenotoxins
Genotoxins are substances that alter the structure of DNA.
7. 1. Evaluation of anti- genotoxic effect of leaf extract of
Andrographis paniculata
2. Evaluation of anti- genotoxic effect of Stem extract of
Andrographis paniculata
3. Evaluation of anti- genotoxic effect of root extract of
Andrographis paniculata
8. Plant collection: Plants were shade dried and powdered (leaf
,stem , root separately)
Onion bulbs
positive control (C+ve)-onion root in 7% H2O2 (1h)
negative control (C-ve)-germinated in distilled water (72 h)
onion bulb germinate in distilled water-24h
onion bulbs were placed on different concentrations of (leaf,
stem,root) extracts (Ex1-Ex4)-24h
washed and the onion bulbs were placed on distilled water-
24h
9. Onion bulbs germinated in distilled water- 24 hours.
After 24 hours, onion bulbs were treated with 7% H2O2 -1 hour.
Onion bulbs were treated with seven different concentrations of
(leaf,stem,root) extracts (Hex1, Hex2, Hex3, Hex4, ) - 24 hours
Onion bulbs were placed in distilled water -24 hours.
The roots fixed-carnoy’s fluid
Mitotic slides are prepered using acetocarmine
10.
11. There was significant difference in
root number and root length between the
control groups and treatment groups.
The average root length in treatment groups
were significantly lower than the negative and
positive controls.
The negative control showed normal mitotic
divisions
23. In leaf treatment groups, Interphase lowest percentage of
aberration was observed with Ex2
various concentrations of HEx(Extract treatment after H2O2
treatment),Highest percentage of aberration, was noticed with
HEx2 and lowest in HEX1
lowest percentage of aberration among extract treatment
group was noticed in EX4 and it was increased with EX1 and
EX3
in various HEx groups highest percentage of In metaphase
and Anaphase are very low percentage of aberration.
Telophase, which do not show aberration.aberration was
noticed with HEx3 and lowest was found with HEx4. ,
24. In interphase among stem treatment groups lowest
percentage of aberration was observed with Ex3, highest
percentage of aberration was observed with Ex1
various concentrations of HEx(extract treatment after
H2O2treatment),highest percentage of aberration ,was noticed
with HEx1 . In various HEx groups highest percentage of
aberration was noticed with HEx4.
In prophase the lowest percentage of aberration among
extract treatment was noticed in Ex3 and it was increased
with Ex1. In various HEx groups highest percentage of
aberration was noticed with HEx4
In metaphase and anaphase are very low percentage of
aberration. Telophase , which do not show aberration
and lowest with HEx2.
25. In root treatment groups, interphase lowest percentage of
aberration was observed with Ex4, highest percentage of
aberration was observed with concentration of Ex1
various concentration HEx highest percentage of
aberration,was noticed with HEx4.
In prophase, the lowest percentage aberration among extract
treatment group was noticed in Ex3 and Ex4 and lowest with
HEx2.
In various HEx groups highest percentage in HEx3 and HEx4
and lowest was found with.
In metaphase and anaphase are very low percentage of
aberration. Telophase which do not show the aberration.
HEx1 and HEx2
26. The anti-mitotic and anti genotoxic effects
of Andrographis paniculata plant extracts
were evaluated
The effects of plant extracts(of varying
concentrations) were observed.
Chromosomal aberrations like lesion ,Double
lesion ,giant cells, and polar nuclei were
noticed in various treatment groups and
control.
