Objective. To assess the genotoxic activity of N-nitroso diethylamine (NDEA), maleic hydrazide (MH), and ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) using two systems: the comet assay on nuclei from Tradescantia, and the pink mutation test on Tradescantia staminal ...

Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity Exerted by Pesticides in Different Biotic Matrices-An Overview of More Than a Decade of Experimental Evaluation [PDF]
Agrochemicals represent one of the most important sources of environmental pollution. Although attempts to reduce agrochemical use through organic agricultural practices and the use of other technologies to control pests continue, the problem is still

HTST (95°C/8 s) pasteurization improved antioxidant capacity and increased some phenolic compounds and carotenoids. Other compounds, such as neoxanthin and chlorophylls, suffered degradation after heating. Compared with MTST (76°C/19 s), HTST proved to be the best alternative for juice processing, maintaining key characteristics and potentially ...

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Relation between mutation yield and cell lethality over a wide range of X-ray and fission neutron doses in maize [PDF]
Dry maize seeds, of a genetic stock heterozygous for the yellow-green locus (Yg^ Λ ^ ) ι were irradiated with fission neutron doses up to 2700 rads and with 250 kVp X-rays to 40 000 rads.

Traits Associated With Local Extinctions of Native Plants in a Species‐Rich Urban Reserve
A comprehensive resurvey of an urban reserve in Sydney failed to redetect 29% of native vascular plant species recorded from 1976 to 1992. Compared with persistent species, locally extinct species were shorter on average and more likely to have a graminoid habit and be water‐associated.
