title: Toward monitoring specific DNA lesions in the gene by using pollen systems.
abstract: Specific gene systems expressed in cereal pollen could contribute uniquely to the problem of monitoring our environment for mutagens. This paper considers the development of a mutagen monitor with quantitative endpoints that reflect particular types of lesions at the DNA level, and lesions in particular components of the gene.
