Heavy metal contamination is a globally recognized environmental issue, threatening
human life very seriously. Increasing population and high demand for food resulted in …

More than 9000 papers using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) or related
techniques (eg the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR)) have been …

Polluting events can change community structure and ecosystem functioning. Selection of
genetically inherited tolerance on exposed populations, here referred as micro-evolution …

Abstract Aims Vetiver grass–Chyrsopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty is a known plant tolerant
to heavy metals and its use as an alternative method for rehabilitation of iron ore mine-soil …

Many airborne and soil-borne nanoparticles (NPs) can enter plants, which are the primary
producers in the food chain; recently, studies on the genotoxic effects of NPs on plants are …

Mercury uptake and its effects on physiology, biochemistry and genomic stability were
investigated in Lemna minor after 2 and 6 d of exposure to 0–30 μM Hg. The accumulation …

Assessment of genotoxins-induced DNA damage and mutations at molecular level is
important in eco-genotoxicology. In this research, RAPD was used to detect DNA damage in …

This paper presents the results of a study on the influence of lead, copper, manganese and
cadmium on DNA integrity in plant cells. Plants, as biological indicators, can measure the …

Assessment of environmental contamination on ecology (plant) at molecular and population
levels is important in risk quantification and remediation study. Random amplified …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is constantly increasing in agricultural systems due to
anthropogenic activities and causes significant reductions in the yield of crop species. In this …
