Cyanamide

Cyanamide (2-10 mM; 1-6 d) dose-dependently inhibits root growth, fresh weight accumulation, dry weight accumulation and RGR of bulb roots of onion (Allium cepa L.). Complete growth recovery is only observed after treatment with the low concentration (2 mM), while only partial or no recovery is observed after treatment with high concentrations^[1].
Cyanamide (2-10 mM; 1, 6 d) increases H₂O₂ levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner, inducing oxidative stress in bulb roots of onion (Allium cepa L.), with the highest concentration (10 mM) triggering a sharp rise in H₂O₂ after 1 day of treatment^[1].
Cyanamide (2-10 mM; 1-6 d) alters the accumulation of superoxide anions in the root of onion bulbs. Specifically, treatment with 10 mM cyanamide for 1 d induces extensive accumulation of superoxide anions, which subsequently triggers tissue degradation^[1].
Cyanamide (2-10 mM; 1-6 d) alters the mitotic index of onion root tip cells, disrupts chromosome morphology and metaphase plate formation, and all mitotic activity and chromosome structures recover completely after removal of this compound^[1].
Cyanamide (2-10 mM; 1-6 d) alters the cell cycle distribution of onion root tip cells, increases the proportion of 4C nuclei after short-term treatment, and elevates the G₂/G₁ ratio during the recovery phase^[1].
Cyanamide (2-10 mM; 1 d) disrupts the arrangement of microtubule cytoskeletons in onion root tip meristematic cells at concentrations of 6 mM and 10 mM, while no visible effect on microtubule structure is observed at the 2 mM concentration^[1].
