Loss of heterozygosity by mitotic recombination in diploid strain of Aspergillus nidulans in response to castor oil plant detergent
Somatic recombination in heterozygous diploid cells may be a promotional agent of neoplasms by inducing homozygosity of defective genes. Tumor suppressor genes may in this way be completely suppressed in recombinant cells. In this work, the genotoxic effects of detergent derived from the castor oil...
