转基因植物检测体系在环境污染物突变性评价中的应用The

很多环境污染物都能对生物体产生诱变性,可利用多种测试材料与方法对其基因毒性进行检测。转基因植物检测体系不仅能对环境污染的诱变性大小进行评价,而且还可以进一步分析其突变的分子机理。本文介绍了转基因植株检测体系的应用前景。 Abstract: Environmental contaminants are powerful mutagenic factors for organisms. Several testing materials and methods have been used to assess the genotoxicity of environmental factors. Transgenic plants testing system can not only evaluate the level of genotoxicity, but also provide information on the genetic effects at molecular level. We introduce the use of transgenic plants in biomonitoring environmental factors.
