T-DNA as an Insertional Mutagen in Arabidopsis
Forward genetics begins with a mutant phenotype and asks the question “What is the genotype?” that is, what is the sequence of the mutant gene causing the altered phenotype?

Characteristics of action of nitrosoalkylureas on cell level in winter wheat
Here we report the cytogenetic characteristics of variability of mutation induction in new wheat varieties and some relationships between the means of the cytogenetic characteristics and different doses and types of mutagens.

Human urinary mutagenicity after wood smoke exposure during traditional temazcal use. [PDF]
In Central America, the traditional temazcales or wood-fired steam baths, commonly used by many Native American populations, are often heated by wood fires with little ventilation, and this use results in high wood smoke exposure.

Degradation of 2-mercaptobenzothizaole in microbial electrolysis cells: intermediates, toxicity, and microbial communities [PDF]
The compound 2-mercaptobenzothizaole (MBT) has been frequently detected in wastewater and surface water and is a potential threat to both aquatic organisms and human health (its mutagenic potential has been demonstrated). This study investigated the degradation routes of MBT in the anode of a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) and the involved microbial

EFFECT OF CARROT JUICE (DAUCUS CAROTA ) ON MITOTIC INDEX AND FORMATION OF MICRONUCLEI IN FEMUR BONE MARROW CELLS OF WHITE MICE [PDF]
The effect of carrot juice at different doses on mitotic index (MI)and micronuclei (Mn) formation was studied in white mice bone marrow cells . The counter effect of juice was also studied against the effects induced by cyclophosphamide (Cp) .

Lethal Mutagenesis of Picornaviruses with N-6-Modified Purine Nucleoside Analogues [PDF]
RNA viruses exhibit extraordinarily high mutation rates during genome replication. Nonnatural ribonucleosides that can increase the mutation rate of RNA viruses by acting as ambiguous substrates during replication have been explored as antiviral agents ...

Repair, abort, ignore? Strategies for dealing with UV damage [PDF]
DNA repair is a prominent member of the nuclear transactions triad (replication, transcription, and repair). Sophisticated mechanisms govern the cellular process of decision-making (to repair or not to repair, to proceed with cell cycle or not and ...

Entrepreneurship as Elixir and Mutagen
Metaphors are powerful tools for sensemaking, sensegiving, and theory development, but they are often concealed in academic writing. This paper uncovers two metaphors underlying entrepreneurship discourse and research—elixir and mutagen.
