The paper presents some results regrading the cytogenetic effects of the barley tretament with sage extract (Salvia officinalis) upon the barley caryopses. It was proved that the treatment of barley with this extract had as effect the stimulation of the mitotic division in the radicle apex of the species and did not lead to any important cytogenetic changes (chromosome aberrations) in the anathelophase of the radicle mitoses.
