2. It is recognized as a chemical super mutagen with remarkable effect for mutation breeding.
The main principle used for mutation breeding is that nitrosoguanidine is an alkylating agent, which is quite effective in mutation Chemical mutagen , such mutagens have one or more active alkyl groups, which are easy to replace DNA molecule The active hydrogen atom in the DNA molecule causes the base and phosphoric acid on the DNA molecule to be partially alkylated, which causes the base pairing error during DNA replication and mutation.
