Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIM: To study the effect of the indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)on the SCE and micronuclei of human peripheral lymphocytes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We apply IAA to detect micronuclei and SCE of human peripheral lymphocytes. RESULTS: There were salience difference on the micronuclei rate and SCE rate between each group treated with different concentration of the indole-3-acetic acid and the negative controlled group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The indole-3-acetic acid damaged the genetic material of human peripheral lymphocytes.

Key words: Indole-3-acetic acid, SCE, micronuclei
