Abstract

Low concentrations of hydroxyurea, an inhibitor of DNA replication, induced oxidative and replicative stress in root apical meristem (RAM) cells of Vicia faba. Plant cells are constantly exposed to low-level endogenous stress factors that can affect DNA replication and lead to DNA damage. Long-term treatments of Vicia faba root apical meristems (RAMs) with HU leads to the appearance of atypical cells with intranuclear asynchrony. This rare form of abnormality was manifested by a gradual condensation of chromatin, from interphase to mitosis (so-called IM cells). Moreover, HU-treated root cells revealed abnormal chromosome structure, persisting DNA replication, and elevated levels of intracellular hydrogen peroxide (HO) and superoxide anion (O). Immunocytochemical studies have shown an increased number of fluorescent foci of H3 histones acetylated at lysine 56 (H3K56Ac; canonically connected with the DNA replication process). We show that continuous 3-day exposure to low concentrations (0.75 mM) of hydroxyurea (HU; an inhibitor of DNA replication) induces cellular response to reactive oxygen species and to DNA replication stress conditions.
