Scientific Reports, 2019 Polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) are known due to their mutagenic activity. Among them, 2-nitrobenzanthrone (2-NBA) and 3-nitrobenzanthrone (3-NBA) are considered as two of the most potent mutagens found in atmospheric particles. In the present study

Detection of carcinogens as mutagens in the Salmonella/microsome test: assay of 300 chemicals.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1975 About 300 carcinogens and non-carcinogens of a wide variety of chemical types have been tested for mutagenicity in the simple Salmonella/microsome test.

The Mutagenic Impact of Environmental Exposures in Human Cells and Cancer: Imprints Through Time
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 During life, the DNA of our cells is continuously exposed to external damaging processes. Despite the activity of various repair mechanisms, DNA damage eventually results in the accumulation of mutations in the genomes of our cells.

Induced Mutations Unleash the Potentials of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
Agronomy, 2013 The options for increasing food production by at least 70% over the next four decades so as to keep pace with a rapidly increasing human population are bedeviled by erratic climatic conditions, depleted arable lands, dwindling water resources and by the ...
