Purpose:This is a paper based on a talk given in the BER2018 conference by M. Bando. We first emphasize the importance of collaborations among scientists in various fields for the low dose/dose-rate effects on biological body. We make comparisons of quantitative estimations of mutation caused by the radiation exposure on various animals and plants using one mathematical model. We derive the importance of the spontaneous mutation at the DNA level, which provides the key to understand the biological evolution. We try to make a guide map to solve this problem and find that the mutation is an important stage of the pathway from the DNA damage to the macroscopic biological evolution.Materials and methods:We construct a mathematical model for the mutation, named as ‘WAM’ model, which takes into account the recovery effect. The model setting is regarded as an extension of the survival and the hazard functions. The WAM model is used to reproduce accumulated data of mutation frequency of animals and plants. Especially the model analysis shows that the dose-rate dependence is important to understand various mutation data.Results and conclusions:The WAM model is successful in reproducing various mutation data of animals and plants. We find that the inclusion of the dose rate is important to understand all the mutation data. Hence, we are able to develop the ‘scaling law’ to make the cross-species comparison of mutation frequency data. With this finding, we can extract the dominant effect on the mutation to be caused by the spontaneous mutation, and quantify this amount. We are able to write then the artificial radiation frequency by subtracting the spontaneous mutation. With this success, we estimate the origin of the spontaneous mutation as due to ROS, the order of which agrees to the spontaneous mutation.
