Principle and application of plant mutagenesis in crop improvement: a review
The first step in plant breeding is to identify suitable genotypes containing the desired genes among existing varieties, or to create one if it is not found in nature.

Genotype to phenotype mapping and the fitness landscape of the E. coli lac promoter [PDF]
Genotype-to-phenotype maps and the related fitness landscapes that include epistatic interactions are difficult to measure because of their high dimensional structure. Here we construct such a map using the recently collected corpora of high-throughput sequence data from the 75 base pairs long mutagenized E.

An improved bacterial test system for the detection and classification of mutagens and carcinogens.
We previously described a set of four strains of Salmonella typhimurium designed for detecting the various types of mutagens, and showed their utility in detecting a wide variety of carcinogens as mutagens.

APLIKASI INDUKSI MUTASI UNTUK PEMULIAAN TANAMAN HIAS [PDF]
The breeding of ornamental plants through mutation induction has been applied to obtain the desired new characters. High diversity, such as brighter colors, more attractive shapes, and aromas, are needed for the assembly of new high-yielding varieties to

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

Detection of carcinogens as mutagens: bacterial tester strains with R factor plasmids.
We described previously a simple test on petri plates for detecting chemical carcinogens as mutagens, using an especially sensitive set of bacterial strains to detect mutagenic acitivty and a mammalian liver extract for carcinogen activity. We now extend

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 ...
