[The possibilities of sensitized photomutagenesis for the induction of genetic variability in plants].
It was found that combined influence of sensitizers and laser emission on vegetation under some conditions induces marked mutagenesis. The observed synergism was analysed. The possible mechanisms of the phenomenon was considered. A unified approach was proposed to assess efficacy of sensitizer-laser pairs by fragmentation DNA. The recommendations were given for application of combined action of sensitizers and laser emission for experimental mutagenesis.
