Abstract
InTradescantia, clone 4430, diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDTC) markedly decreased the frequency of somatic mutations induced by maleic hydrazide (MH) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA). In contrast, DEDTC had no such effect on N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mutagenesis. The putative degradation and conversion products of MH (maleic acid diamide, succinic acid, maleic acid, lactic acid and hydrazine) exhibited no mutagenic activity in theTradescantia mutagenicity assay.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
