The effects of fusarial toxins: DAS, T-2, DON, 3 Ac-DON, MON and ZEA, on actively dividing root tip cells of rye, wheat and field bean were investigated. Three concentrations: 1.5 and 10 ug/ml were applied for 24 hours. Nuclei and chromosomes were stained using the Feulgens method. It has been found that trichothecene mycotoxins had a profound effect on mitosis, as they decreased the mitotic index, produced excessive condensation of pro- and metaphase chromosomes, C-metaphases and C-anaphases, and caused an accumulation of metaphases. The main effect of trichothecene mycotoxins, probably caused via their influence on protein synthesis, was abnormal functioning of the miotic spindle
