dc.description.abstract	A rapid method was proposed to detect whether the herbicide atrazine could be converted into a mutagenic compound by plant metabolism. The method is based on the use of Vicia texana plants. Extracts were prepared from the plant tissues to be tested for mutagenic capability and metabolite identification. The mutagenic tests were to be carried out at the University of Texas System Cancer Center, Science Park Laboratory.	en
