The mutagenic activity of damsissa (Ambrosia maritime, L.), a medicinal herb that has been used as a medication in many developing countries, was assessed. The assessment carried out through three model systems, a bacterial model (prophage induction and transduction assays), a plant model (Allium cepa, L. root tips assay) and finally a mammalian model (rat bone marrow assay). The results of the three models proved that this plant has a weak mutagenic activity, but not completely null. Moreover, the plant seemed to have antioxidant response because the results showed that it has an anti-mutagenic activity against a powerful mutagen agent.
