A Study on the Possible Mutagenicity of Different Types of Plant Growth Regulators

It is known that most chemicals, which have been increasingly used since ancient times, carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. As an alternative to these natural compounds, such as plant growth regulators (PGRs) used. However, are the PGRs obtain efficient plants in agriculture harmless it thought today when essential access foods food sectors? Therefore, this study investigates activity of two (Kinetin, Chlormequat chloride (CCC)) using Ames/Salmonella short-time test system. Experiments were performed presence (+ S9) or absence (-S9) metabolic activation enzymes TA 98 100 strains Salmonella typhimurium. 5 non-cytotoxic doses for each substance investigated. The results evaluated by comparing them with spontaneous control plates. According results, a 2500 µg/plate dose Kinetin was be found on strain S9 enzyme, enzyme. other CCC did not cause effects bacterial strains.
