| Abstract | Atrazine, one of the herbicide, is classified as a possible human carcinogen that may cause breast and ovarian cancers. The mutagenic and genotoxic properties of atrazine have been studied using a variety of assays in the past but the results were contradictory. This fact indicates that a more comprehensive assessment of the potential genotoxicity of atrazine is needed. For this reasons, we investigated the mutant frequency on lacI gene and induction of binucleated micronuclei formation by atrazine in vitro using the Big Blue® Rat2 lacI transgenic fibroblasts, which are transfected by a lambda shuttle vector. These assays carried out at the concentrations of 261.7, 130.8 and 65.4 μg/mL of atrazine, the highest concentration giving 80% survival. These two endpoints were used to compare the induction of point mutations with cytogenetic damages by atrazine under same exposure condition. No significant changes of mutant frequency and binucleated micronuclei frequency induced by atrazine were observed both in the transgenic mutagenesis assay and cytokinesis blocking assay in the absence of metabolic activation system using the Big Blue® Rat2 lacI transgenic fibroblasts. These results suggest that atrazine did not induce mutation and cytogenetic damage in this experimental system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
