Mutagen-induced phytotoxicity in maize seed germination is dependent on ROS scavenging capacity
Abstract Ethidium bromide (EB) and acridine orange (AO) bind to nucleic acids and are thus considered as potential mutagens. In this study, the effects of EB and AO on the germination behaviours of white, yellow, red, and purple maize seeds were investigated. The results indicate that low concentrat...
