In: Minufiya Journal of Agricultural Research 2011. v.36(3)Summary: The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) belongs to the order Galliformes family Phasianidae and improved for egg and meat production. The cytogenetic effect of Malathion residues in grains stored for different periods was evaluated in quail using three doses low, medium and high. The study included chromosomal aberrations analysis in bone-marrow and spermatocyte cells. The study aimed to evaluate the genotoxic effects of the fungicides (Malathion), which is used to protect crops from fungi. We fed Japanese quail on seeds treated with Malathion to show the effect on Mitotic and Meiotic aberrations. For these reasons, bone marrow, spermatocytes and chromosome aberration tests were carried out in quail. Chromosomal aberrations may due to lesions in DNA which lead to discontinuities of the double helix. The results demonstrated that the cytogenetic effect induced in different quail tissues by Malathion residues were dose-dependent.
