In the present study, the cytogenetic effects of the herbicide Logran on root tip cells of <i>Triticum aestivum</i>L. and <i>Hordeum vulgare</i>L. and changes of total protein content in root tip meristems were studied. The seeds of plants were treated with various concentrations of Logran (125, 250, 500 µg/ml) for 3 and 6 h. The percentages of abnormal cells were seen to increase with increasing treatment period and concentrations. The most dominant types of observed abnormalities were C-mitosis, distributed metaphase and anaphase, stickiness. All the used concentrations of Logran significantly induced a number of chromosomal aberrations in root tip cells of <i>Hordeumvulgare</i>L. and <i>Triticumaestivum</i>L. Logran also decreased mitotic index. The decrease of protein content in root tips of <i>Triticumaestivum</i>L. is significant at all the treated concentrations and treatment periods when compared with control.
