Abstract
Four laboratories, two in Czechoslovakia (Brno and Prague) and two in USSR (Moscow and Duschanbe), participated in the International Program On Chemical Safety (IPCS) Collaborative Study to evaluate the utility of the most commonly used plant test systems, including the Arabidopsis thaliana assay, for assessing the mutagenic potential of environmental agents. Out of the five compounds evaluated in the Arabidopsis assay, 3 compounds; i.e., ethyl methanesulfonate, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, and 3-azidoglycerol, were reported by all four participating laboratories to be mutagenic. Sodium azide (NaN3) demonstrated negative response in all four laboratories; whereas, maleic hydrazide was reported to be weakly mutagenic by one laboratory and no mutagenic response by the other three laboratories.
