This paper is a review of recent studies that demonstrate the activation of chemicals (especially pesticides into mutagens by green plants. Such activation of pesticides may be hazardous to the public health because of their widespread use in agriculture and the current lack of information that exists about such processes. The mutagenic properties of the s-triazine herbicides (atrazine, simazine, and cyanazine) as exhibited in various assay systems are discussed. In vivo, in vitro, and in situ plant assays are presented, and the maize wx locus assay is discussed.
本文是对近期研究的综述,这些研究表明绿色植物可将化学物质(尤其是农药)激活为诱变剂。由于农药在农业中广泛使用且目前缺乏关于此类过程的信息,这种农药激活可能对公众健康有害。文中讨论了各种检测系统中显示的三嗪类除草剂(阿特拉津、西玛津和氰草津)的诱变特性。介绍了体内、体外和原位植物检测,并讨论了玉米wx位点检测。
