The cytogenetic effects of activator Act-2 (based in compounds of addition hydro soluble of K-vitamin group a new and specific organic metabolic activator) on meiosis of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were studied. The activator was applied to tomato plant grown in greenhouse at the dosage (150 cc/100 water) recommended by the manufacturing company and double the recommended dosage (300 cc/100 water) as well. It was observed that all dosages of the activator gave rise to some changes in cell shapes, chromosome structures, cell division patterns and cell sizes of tomato pollen. As a consequence of chromosomal anomalies sterile pollens were produced that affected yield negatively. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjb.v42i2.18045 Bangladesh J.

Tropospheric ozone (O3) is produced photochemically resulting in daily patterns of concentrations that normally peak in mid-photoperiod, but timing of the peak concentration may vary according to atmospheric conditions. This study was conducted to determine if there are within-photoperiod differences in plant sensitivity to O3. Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants were grown in controlled environment chambers for 14 d and exposed to O3 concentrations of 0.08, 0.12, 0.16, 0.20 and 0.24 μL L−1 for 1 h. Exposures occurred beginning at 10:30, 13:30 or 16:30 h, during a daily photoperiod of 06:00–22:00 h. Differences in sensitivity (as indicated by significant (P ≤ 0.05) growth differences) depending on time of O3 exposure were observed for both species. The order of plant sensitivity for exposure times was 10:30 > 13:30 > 16:30 h. Sensitivity to O3 was concluded to depend on the time of exposure within the photoperiod. Key words: Glycine max Merr., Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., ozone injury, within-photoperiod, controlled exposures, plant growth
