Vegetable test-systems for genotoxicity detection

Abstract

Under ecological stress conditions and constant increase of quantity of harmful compounds that may possess genotoxic properties, genetic monitoring becomes very important. For such monitoring vegetable test-systems are intensively used. They are used for testing of large quantity of mutagenic (physical, chemical, biological) factors and polluters of environment (water, air, soil). Long-term researches of Ukrainian scientists confirm high efficiency of vegetable test-systems for mutagenicity detection.
