Mutagenic effects of plant growth hormones with the salmonella/microsome test and the SOS chromotest

The mutagenic potentials of some plant growth hormones were assessed using the Salmonella/microsome test and the SOS chromotest. Each test is described briefly. The plant growth hormones evaluated included: indole-3-acetic acid, gibberellic acid, padomin, berelex, alpha -naphthalene, and benzyladeni...

Description
Summary:The mutagenic potentials of some plant growth hormones were assessed using the Salmonella/microsome test and the SOS chromotest. Each test is described briefly. The plant growth hormones evaluated included: indole-3-acetic acid, gibberellic acid, padomin, berelex, alpha -naphthalene, and benzyladenine. The Salmonella/microsome test showed that only benzyladenine was weakly mutagenic in the presence of S9 fraction in S. typhimurium TA98. No hormone mutagenicity was noted in the SOS chromotest, although indole-3-acetic acid and padomin exhibited cytotoxicity. A relatively high correlation was noted between the two test systems.
