A water-soluble extract from maize plants grown in the presence of atrazine contained a mutagenic agent(s) when tested on strains of yeast. Atrazine alone or control plants not treated with atrazine did not express mutagenic properties. The reversion frequency at the waxy locus in pollen grains from plants grown in atrazine was higher than in control plants. We suggest that atrazine may be degraded by the plant into environmental mutagenic agents.
在存在莠去津的情况下种植的玉米植株的水溶性提取物，在用酵母菌株进行测试时含有一种诱变剂。单独的莠去津或未用莠去津处理的对照植株均未表现出诱变特性。在莠去津环境中生长的植株花粉粒中蜡质位点的回复突变频率高于对照植株。我们认为莠去津可能被植物降解为环境诱变剂。
