A comparison of the effects of physical and chemical mutagens in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010 Three sesame genotypes (Rama, SI 1666 and IC 21706) were treated with physical (γ-rays: 200 Gy, 400 Gy or 600 Gy) or chemical (ethyl methane sulphonate, EMS: 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% or 2.0%) mutagens and their mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency were ...

Micronucleus induction by 915 MHz Radiofrequency Radiation in Vicia faba root tips [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The mutagenic effect of radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) is evaluated by the micronucleus (MN) test in secondary roots of Vicia faba seedlings. Root exposures were carried out with 915 MHz continuous wave (CW) radiation for 72h, at power densities of 25, 38, 50 W/m$^2$.
