Abstract
SummaryThe data on mutagenicity are shown in Table 1. Both fulvine and retrorsine show moderate activity, falling into Clark’s (1960) second category. Isatidine, the N-oxide of retrorsine is much less active than the base itself, a result which is consistent with those of Clark. Monocrotaline and fulvine induce translocations, but at a rate which is very low compared with the incidence of sex-linked recessive lethals (cf. Avanzi, 1961; Clark, 1963).
