Abstract
The paper presents the study of the effect of caffeine (coffeinum natrium benzoicum) and nicotine (α-pyridine-β-N-methylpyrrolidine) on mitotic division and chromosomal aberrations in anaphase and telophase in wheat roots (Triticum aestivum L.) of the above mentioned substances. The study was supplemented with observations on seeds germination and plant growth. The study was supplemented with observations on seeds germination and plant growth. Both nicotine and caffeine had an inhibitory effect on cell division, which is also reflected in the growth of wheat plants.
