Application

Ethyl methanesulfonate had been used for inducing mutation in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, yeast human embryonic kidney cell lines and human lymphocytes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ethyl methanesulfonate is a DNA ethylating agent, mutagenic to plants and animals and carcinogenic in mammals. It has been used as a model alkylating agent in studies of DNA repair processes. EMS induces base substitutions of guanine-cytosine (G/C) to adenine-thymine (A/T). EMS also generates point mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms in genomes. EMS is potential chemical mutagen used for inducing mutation in rice, wheat and Arabidopsis thaliana.
