Abstract
We examined the mutagenicity of the extract of transgenic tomato by Am es test, to assess the safety of a transgenic tomato that had been est ablished by gene transfection of a gene coding the coat protein of TMV . Juice and ethanol extract prepared from transgenic tomato showed no detectable mutagenicity on Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 with or without S-9 mix. Furthermore, extracts from six kinds of commercial tomato also did not show any mutagenicity.
