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 …

Toxic compounds may interfere with the genetic constitution of populations, either directly
through mutagenic activity, or indirectly via population-mediated processes (ie selection …

In recent years, several plant species have been used as bioindicators, and several tests
have been developed to evaluate the toxicity of environmental contaminants on vegetal …

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay and related techniques like the
arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) have been shown to detect …

This is the report of the forty-seventh of a series of workshops organised by the European
Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM). ECVAM's main goal, as defined in …

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to detect DNA
damage in the sublittoral macroalgae Palmariapalmata (Rhodophyta) exposed to both …

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 …

There is a growing concern over the potential effects of environmental endocrine disrupters
on both human and wildlife populations. However, to date, minimal research has been …
