A variety of empirical procedures has been devised with which to estimate the mutagenic potency of suspect agents, and the relative merits of different tests are currently under debate. Although such tests are of great value, and are indeed indispensable, they are not, nevertheless, sufficient. In the long term, accurate estimation of hazard will also require a better understanding of the various mechanisms of mutagenesis, and in many instances these remain remarkably elusive. Our knowledge and appreciation of the problem has increased substantially over the last few years, but the precise way in which many mutagens cause mutations is not yet known. The aims of this conference were therefore two-fold. The first was to survey present information about mutagenic mechanisms, drawing together data from work with various experimental approaches and organisms, in order to discern the principles governing the action of different mutagens. The second was to examine the implications of such principles for the e | 出版日期 | Book 1983 | 关键词 | Hamster; Mamma; attention; biology; energy; evaluation; microbiology; mutagen; mutagenesis; mutation; research | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-4382-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-4384-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-4382-0 | copyright | Plenum Press, New York 1983 |
