The Allium cepa test is a bioassay used to assess the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of substances by observing their effects on the root tips of onion (Allium cepa) plants. Researchers typically measure parameters such as root growth, mitotic index, and chromosomal abnormalities after treating the onion bulbs with various chemicals. This test is valued for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and ability to indicate potential harmful effects on living organisms. It serves as an important tool in environmental monitoring and risk assessment.
