What (who) is mutagenic$51049$ - definition

CHEMICAL AGENT THAT INCREASES THE RATE OF GENETIC MUTATION BY INTERFERING WITH THE FUNCTION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS

Mutagene; Mutagenic; Mutagens; Mutagenicity; Mutogen; Mutagenicity tests; Antimutagenic agents; Mutagenicity assays

Mutagen

In genetics, a mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that permanently changes genetic material, usually DNA, in an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level. As many mutations can cause cancer in animals, such mutagens can therefore be carcinogens, although not all necessarily are.

EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE

Dangerous Substances Directive; Carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic for reproduction; Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC)

The Dangerous Substances DirectiveFull title: Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labeling of dangerous substances. (as amended) was one of the main European Union laws concerning chemical safety, until its full replacement by the new regulation CLP Regulation (2008), starting in 2016.

Mutation breeding

PROCESS OF EXPOSING SEEDS TO CHEMICALS OR RADIATION TO GENERATE MUTANTS WITH DESIRABLE TRAITS

Radiation breeding; Mutagenesis breeding; Mutagenic breeding; Radiation-induced mutation; Ultraviolet mutation breeding; Mutation Breeding

Mutation breeding, sometimes referred to as "variation breeding", is the process of exposing seeds to chemicals, radiation, or enzymes in order to generate mutants with desirable traits to be bred with other cultivars. Plants created using mutagenesis are sometimes called mutagenic plants or mutagenic seeds.

Wikipedia

Mutagen

In genetics, a mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that permanently changes genetic material, usually DNA, in an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level. As many mutations can cause cancer in animals, such mutagens can therefore be carcinogens, although not all necessarily are. All mutagens have characteristic mutational signatures with some chemicals becoming mutagenic through cellular processes.

The process of DNA becoming modified is called mutagenesis. Not all mutations are caused by mutagens: so-called "spontaneous mutations" occur due to spontaneous hydrolysis, errors in DNA replication, repair and recombination.
