DNA damage in grasshoppers’ larvae – Comet assay in environmental approach
Abstract
The comet assay that provides a quantitative measure of the DNA-strand breaks may be used for assessing the ‘genotoxic potential’ of the environment. Young adults of Chorthippus brunneus (Orthoptera), collected at three sites in Southern Poland, differing in the level of pollution, particularly with heavy metals: Pilica (reference), Olkusz (moderately polluted) and Szopienice (heavily polluted) – were allowed to mate under laboratory conditions...
