Mutants have been obtained in groundnut either spontaneously or induced by physical or chemical
mutagens for characteristics like lethal, chlorophyll deficiencies, plant stature, growth habit, branching pattern, pod and nuts yields[10, 11, 12].
According to table 3,4 and Figure 1 Date Palm Pollen extract increased significantly percentage of normal type and decreased percentage of
mutagen types of Solanum melongena L.
The rat eventually rescued the ooze-drenched turtles, getting the
mutagen onto himself as well.
Identification of oxidized and reduced forms of the strong bacterial
mutagen (z)-2-chloro-3-(dichloromethyl)-4-oxobutenoic acid (mx) in extracts of chlorine-treated water.
Lack of interaction of single strand breaks in mammalian cells by sodium azide and its proximal
mutagens.
This result shows that
mutagens other than Trp-P1 also could have been bound to bacterial cells which in turn lowered the fecal and urinary mutagenicity of rats.
Different methods are available to investigate the effect of
mutagens on plants.
Use of metabolically competent human hepatoma cells for the detection of
mutagens and antimutagens.
Adriamycin (doxorubicin hydrochloride), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ICR 191 acridine
mutagen (6-chloro-9-[3-(2-chloroethylamino)propylamino]-2-methoxyacridine),[N .
It has been identified as a potent
mutagen but the extent by which it could cause mutations in living cells was not known.
fruits were tested against two direct-acting
mutagens NPD and sodium azide and the S9-dependent
mutagen 2-aminofluorene (AF-2) in Salmonella tester strains.
During roasting, coffee develops a small amount of benzo (a) pyrene, a strong
mutagen and carcinogen which is released during extraction and brewing.
