In the present investigation, the pollens of two cytotypes of Urginea indica Kunth were used to evaluate the genotoxic effects of a food additive, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). At the higher concentration treatment of MSG, the pollen morphology of both the cytotypes was reported to show significant variations when compared to control. Moreover, the percentage pollen fertility decreased with the increase in concentrations. The result thus, revealed the genotoxic and mutagenic properties of Monosodium Glutamate on cytotypes of Urginea indica Kunth.
