- Scope
- The Tradescantia micronucleus test (Tradescantia MCN test) allows determination of genotoxic effects of airborne pollutants in the form of elevated micronucleus formation rates in the pollen cells of spiderwort (Tradescantia sp.) and thus permits assessment of the genotoxic hazard potential of such pollutants for the living environment. Tradescantia provides direct proof of a biological effect after a given exposure time.
