The comet assay is a sensitive method for the evaluation of DNA damages and DNA repair
capacity at single‐cell level. Allium cepa is a well‐established plant model for toxicological …

The systematic study of genotoxicity in plants induced by contaminants and other stress
agents has been hindered to date by the lack of reliable and robust biomarkers. The comet …

We have evaluated the extent of DNA damage induced by direct and indirect mutagens by
cellular and acellular comet assays in two plant systems, Nicotiana tabacum (wild type …

Comet assay is an efficient test to detect genotoxic compounds based on observation of
DNA damage. The aim of this work was to compare the results obtained from the comet …

The Comet assay has found worldwide acceptance for detecting DNA damage and repair in
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The variability in the results of the Comet assay is largely …

Urban airborne particulate is a complex mixture of air pollutants, many of which have not
been identified. However, short-term mutagenesis tests together with chemicophysical …

During the last 30 years, the comet assay has become widely used for the measurement of
DNA damage and repair in cells and tissues. A landmark achievement was reached in 2016 …

The comet assay is a sensitive technique for the measurement of DNA damage in individual
cells. Although it has been primarily applied to animal cells, its adaptation to higher plant …

In plants, an increasing interest for the comet assay was shown in the last decade. This
versatile technique appears to be promising to detect the genotoxic effect of pollutants and …

Abstract The International Comet Assay Workshops (ICAW) are a series of scientific
conferences dealing with different aspects of the comet assay. The assay itself is a simple …
